chand chhune ki dhun mein hue jate hain dur mitti se hum hum se mitti bahut
chand ka hath aana na aana hi kya saneha to hai mitti se duri bahut

jab ki sab ek rawish hi pe hon gamzan rah juda karna aasan hai jaan-e-man
sach ka aise mein jama karo zeb-tan jhut ke jab hon chou-tarfa hami bahut

khauf ka dil mein tufan rakha gaya pa-ba-zanjir mehman rakha gaya
hum ko mahrum-e-irfan rakha gaya be-sabab to nahin mehrbani bahut

war sare hi us ke dhare rah gae pai-ba-pai go badalta raha paintare
main ne chaha numud-e-hunar wo kare thi wagarna meri ek hi bazi bahut

lakh mana ki na-tajarba-kar hai tajarbe se magar kya sarokar hai
ishq ko husn ke naz-o-andaz ki hoti hi hai samajh-bujh thodi bahut

be-sabab puchhta bhi nahin aadmi be-gharaz thukta bhi nahin aadmi
aaj khud mere dar tak chale aae ho waqai kaam tha kya zaruri bahut

jaan be-shak meri le le nazrana wo bakhsh de bas muafi ka parwana wo
man kar mujh ko 'gulfam' diwana wo kar nahin leta kyon zarf aali bahut
