gulabon si tumhaari yaad har jaanib mahakti hai
tumhaari justuju mein ab hawa ki ru bhatakti hai

jahan bhar mein hazaron boliyan mithi bahut lekin
meri urdu zaban un mein nagine si chamakti hai

buzurgon ki nishani hai jise chadar main kahti hun
use jab odh leti hun meri surat damakti hai

sukun milta mujhe ye jaan kar beti bahut khush hai
tabhi to khwab mein aa kar wo hansti hai chahakti hai

nazar jab aap ki hogi khulenge bab rahmat ke
wagarna ruh-e-insani andheron mein bhatakti hai

jo khwahish ho nahin sakti zamane mein kabhi puri
daba ke dard sine mein wahi khwahish sisakti hai
