bare gham kuchh halka hota
ro lete to achchha hota

chand sitare mange hum ne
kuchh to aakhir socha hota

panw tamazat mang rahe hain
sar ki khwahish saya hota

kuchh rakkha hai in baaton mein
aisa hota waisa hota

main jo pa jata to tujh ko
ab tak bhul bhi baitha hota

lutf-e-jawani luta hum ne
dur-e-zaifi kis ka hota

kash ye lafz paron se hote
aur 'khayal' parinda hota
