dil-e-nadan pe shikayat ka guman kya hoga
chand ashkon se jafaon ka bayan kya hoga

shab ke bhatke hue rahi ko khabar de koi
subh-e-rangin ki bahaaron ka nishan kya hoga

nala-e-murgh-e-giraftar se be-zari kya
gosh-e-sayyaad pe ab ye bhi garan kya hoga

sach ke kahne se agar ji ka ziyan hota hai
sach bahar-haal hai sach mohr-e-dahan kya hoga

chup rahen hum to sar-e-dar pukarega lahu
chand hi roz mein aain-e-jahan kya hoga

zarre zarre pe koi phunkega afsun-e-bahaar
mana-e-josh-e-numu jaur-e-khizan kya hoga

chashm-e-nargis ko hawas hai ki chaman mein dekhe
aatish-e-gul ke bhadakne ka saman kya hoga

ab to hum shahr-e-nigaran se chale aae hain
bais-e-wahshat-e-dil husn-e-butan kya hoga
