hazaron mushkilen hain aur lakhon gham liye hain hum
mohabbat ka magar hathon mein ek parcham liye hain hum

wo naghme jo khizan ko phir bahaar-e-nau banate hain
unhi giton ki honton par nai sargam liye hain hum

hamare dil mein hai jazbaat ka tapta hua suraj
jo palkon se chuni wo dard ki shabnam liye hain hum

mubarak ho khirad walon tumhein fikr-o-nazar apni
hain ahl-e-dil bahaar-e-ishq ke mausam liye hain hum

palatiye gar kabhi fursat mile auraq mazi ke
hamari kya sifat bhi aur kya kya gham liye hain hum

samajh li ab haqiqat rahbaran-e-mulk ki sab ne
namak chutki mein le kar kah rahe marham liye hain hum
