daur-e-jawani kab thahra hai aaj nahin to kal jaega
kab tak is par naz karoge chadhta suraj dhal jaega

sozish-e-gham se dil pighla hai chingari hai har har qatra
aap na pochhen mere aansu aap ka daman jal jaega

raushan chehra chhup jaega aap sanwaren zulfen warna
din ke ujale kho jaenge raat ka jadu chal jaega

saghar khanke maikhane mein raat dhali ab lutf aaya hai
aise mein ai saqi-e-mahfil shaikh ka aana khul jaega

aaj ki baaten kal pe na chhodo 'soz' tumhein malum nahin hai
hath hi malte rah jaoge chaal zamana chal jaega
