bahut raushan hai sham-e-gham hamari
kisi ki yaad hai hamdam hamari

ghalat hai la-talluq hain chaman se
tumhaare phul aur shabnam hamari

ye palkon par nae aansu nahin hain
azal se aankh hai pur-nam hamari

har ek lab par tabassum dekhne ki
tamanna kab hui hai kam hamari

kahi hai hum ne khud se bhi bahut kam
na puchho dastan-e-gham hamari
