charagh zabt-e-tamanna se jal na jaen kahin
gulon ke ashk sitaron mein dhal na jaen kahin

isi liye hain garan-pa ki hum jo tez chale
dayar-e-yar se aage nikal na jaen kahin

bichha rahe hain meri rah mein jo angare
wo hath phul hain darta hun jal na jaen kahin

qadam qadam pe bichhao bisat-e-kaif-o-nishat
sharab aur pilao sambhal na jaen kahin

har ek gam pe ashkon ke garm chashme hain
dilon ke sang sambhaalo pighal na jaen kahin

chale chalo ki bharosa nahin hawaon ka
abhi hain sath abhi rukh badal na jaen kahin

dar-e-habib ho ya kucha-e-adu 'khalid'
ye aarzu hai ki ab sar ke bal na jaen kahin
