aariz-o-zulf-e-yar ki baaten
jaise lail-o-nahaar ki baaten

husn se tazkira mohabbat ka
aaine se ghubar ki baaten

kitni rangin hai apni sham-e-firaq
pahron dil se hain yar ki baaten

kab na dar-o-rasan ne chhedi hain
jurat-e-paedar ki baaten

tum ho aur be-niyazi-e-paiham
hum hain aur eatibar ki baaten

mit chuke walwale bahaaron ke
ab kahan lala-zar ki baaten

dil pe ab shaq hain bahut hamdam
mausam-e-khush-gawar ki baaten

sun sako to zaban-e-gul se suno
daman-e-tar-tar ki baaten

hasil-e-umr ban gai hain 'hasan'
husn-e-iman-shikar ki baaten
