chand ko le kar chali gai hai dur kahin baraat bahut
hum bhi chalo ab so jaen ki bit gai hai raat bahut

sawan mein ghazab ka sukha tha hui chait mein hai barsat bahut
rishton ki jagah un rishton ki ab hone lagi hai baat bahut

ja pahunche log to manzil par main khush hun ab tak safar mein hun
ki mere liye ai jaan-e-ghazal hai hath mein tera hath bahut

kuchh log hamari basti mein aa gae hain sakte mein sun kar
ki wo jo kal tak gunge the ab karne lage hain baat bahut

soch-samajh kar baat kiya kar ai sultan faqiron se
ho sakta hai kisi faqir ki nikal aae auqat bahut

daulat walon ki hai shohrat shohrat walon ki daulat
izzat se hain hum basti mein ye hi badi hai baat bahut

do roz judai ke tujh se itni to badi koi baat nahin
barson se bhi lambe dekhe hain hum ne to 'salil' din-raat bahut
