bulbul kharab-o-khwar hui yun chaman ko chhod
aawara jun phire koi apne watan ko chhod

ek roz main ne us but-e-ayyar se kaha
lag ja gale se roz ke tu makr-o-fan ko chhod

laila ko kya mila na mili qais se agar
shirin ne kya husul kiya kohkan ko chhod

be-tab-o-be-qarar ki hoti hai aah bad
kahne ko mere man tu is bankpan ko chhod

bola ki chutkiyon mein udaunga jab talak
ud jae murgh-e-ruh na tere badan ko chhod
