aaj gulshan ki faza pur-khar hai tere baghair
sans lena bhi mujhe dushwar hai tere baghair

mai-kadon mein zindagi ka raqs jari hai to ho
mujh ko mai-noshi se lekin aar hai tere baghair

chand taron ka tabassum bhi mujhe hai nagawar
sach to ye hai zindagi be-kar hai tere baghair

ek tere hone se rahta tha mere dil ko qarar
ab magar ranj-o-mehan se pyar hai tere baghair

kha raha hun har qadam par thokaren sham-o-sahar
zindagi ki rah na-hamwar hai tere baghair

mujh ko dam bhar bhi sukun hasil nahin hota kahin
sach to ye hai zindagi dushwar hai tere baghair

aa meri ujdi hui duniya ko phir aabaad kar
aa ki meri zindagi be-kar hai tere baghair
