hai bhare darakhton ke bawajud ban tanha
roz-o-shab ke hangame phir bhi anjuman tanha

ratjagon ke wo sathi kis jahan mein baste hain
kya hamin tak aaegi subh ki kiran tanha

zulf ki hasin raaten kis pe saya-afgan hain
mere ghar tak aai hai bu-e-yasaman tanha

teri yaad ne uth kar mujh se kal ye puchha tha
apne gham ke sahra mein ja sakoge tan-tanha

kuchh kami na thi dil ki kucha-e-mohabbat mein
ek hum hi aae the le ke jaan-o-tan tanha

hae ye shab-e-wada dil ka haal kya kahiye
hajla-e-urusi mein jis tarah dulhan tanha

thi khuda ki shirkat bhi warna bojh nafrat ka
kis tarah utha pae shaikh-o-barahman tanha
