hamin the jaan-e-bahaaran hamin the rang-e-tarab
hamin hain bazm-e-mai-o-gul mein aaj mohr-ba-lab

wahi tujhe bhi nazar aae be-adab jo log
faqih-e-shahr se uljhe teri gali ke sabab

khayal-o-fikr ke phir silsile sulag na uthen
ki chubh rahi hai dilon mein hawa-e-gesu-e-shab

bas ek jam ne rindon ki aabru rakh li
wagarna kam na tha waiz ka shor-e-ghaiz-o-ghazab

chalo kali ke tabassum ka raaz puchh aaen
gulon ke qafile chal den chaman se jaane kab

abhi se dhadkanen khamosh hoti jati hain
ajib hoga saman wo bhi tum na aaoge jab

hamein hi tab-e-samaat na ho saki 'rahat'
fasana-khwan ne to chheda tha zikr-e-ahd-e-tarab
