naghme tadap rahe hain dil-e-be-qarar mein
aankhen baras rahi hain gham-e-intizar mein

fitrat udas si hai ghataen hain sogwar
ek gham-nasib husn hai abr-e-bahaar mein

hai zarra zarra shauq-e-samaat se be-qarar
tum gunguna rahe ho kisi aabshaar mein

sawan ki rut bahaar ka mausam andheri raat
rim-jhim ke git gunj rahe hain phuwar mein

sapnon mein ho gaya hai sawera kahin mujhe
baitha hua hun jaise kisi lala-zar mein

aisa laga ki sath hi gate hain aabshaar
kya mohni si lai hai tumhaare sitar mein

kyun aaj sar jhukae hue ro rahe ho tum
bikhre hue hain baal gham-o-intishaar mein
