chhup gaya suraj ye kah kar sham se
le sabaq duniya mere anjam se

ruh ko hum ne hazaron dukh diye
nafs ko rakkha bade aaram se

ek bazicha samajh kar ahl-e-dil
khelte hain gardish-e-ayyam se

sochiye har zawiye se dahr mein
kaise guzre zindagi aaram se

kar diya saqi ne saghar chur chur
chhin kar ek rind-e-tishna-kaam se

kaun dar par rah gaya dam tod kar
dekhte to tum utar kar baam se

ho gaya barham nizam-e-maikada
ek aawaz-e-shikast-e-jam se

aakhirash fart-e-masaib par 'jali'
rote rote so gaya aaram se
