gham chhedta hai saz-e-rag-e-jaan kabhi kabhi
hoti hai kaenat ghazal-khwan kabhi kabhi

hum ne diye hain ishq ko tewar nae nae
un se bhi ho gae hain gurezan kabhi kabhi

ai daulat-e-sukun ke talab-gar dekhna
shabnam se jal gaya hai gulistan kabhi kabhi

hum be-kason ki bazm mein aaega aur kaun
aa baithti hai gardish-e-dauran kabhi kabhi

kuchh aur badh gai hai andheron ki zindagi
yun bhi hua hai jashn-e-charaghan kabhi kabhi
