chaak-dar-chaak hai phulon ki qaba sunte hain
panja-kash aaj hai gulshan ki hawa sunte hain

tum ne chheda to nahin saz-e-tabassum apna
tez hai dil ke dhadakne ki sada sunte hain

jaane kab rahguzar shauq ki hogi gul-posh
aaj guzre hain kai aabla-pa sunte hain

aap ke wada-e-farda ka yaqin hai lekin
ruh farsa hai bahut dasht-e-wafa sunte hain

shama dil hi ki jalao ki shab-e-tar kate
sar-ba-zanu hai charaghon ki ziya sunte hain

kya ilaj-e-dil-e-bimar ki surat na rahi
aaj hai chaaragari waqf-e-dua sunte hain

naghma-e-murgh-e-chaman ho ki kharosh-e-tufan
hum to har saz pe apni hi sada sunte hain
