dekhen kya ab ke asiri hamein dikhlati hai
log kahte hain ki phir fasl-e-bahaar aati hai

ghash chala aata hai aur aankh mundi jati hai
hum ko kya kya meri be-taqati dikhlati hai

kya suna us ne kahin rukhsat-e-gul ka mazkur
andalib aaj qafas mein padi chillati hai

taer-e-ruh ko parwaz ka har dam hai khayal
qafas-e-tan mein meri jaan ye ghabraati hai

dekh rote mujhe hans hans kahe jaana har dam
jaan se mujh ko to teri ye ada bhati hai

bazm-e-hasti mein tu baitha hai 'hawas' kya ghafil
kuchh jo karna hai tu kar umr chali jati hai
