hum khushi pa ke gham ko bhul gae
farq-e-sahba-o-sam ko bhul gae

jab hue aashna-e-lazzat-e-gham
talkhi-e-zahr-e-gham ko bhul gae

un ke lutf-o-karam ke mare hue
un ke jaur-o-sitam ko bhul gae

chashm-e-saqi se jab nigah mili
baada-kash jam-e-jam ko bhul gae

phir koi aur kijiyega sitam
dekhiye log hum ko bhul gae

hum sitam-kosh ban gae to wo
apne tarz-e-sitam ko bhul gae

ras aai hai kab khushi un ko
jo khushi pa ke gham ko bhul gae

aise milte hain ajnabi ki tarah
jaise sach-much wo hum ko bhul gae

un ka dar mil gaya to ai 'hairat'
hum bhi dair-o-haram ko bhul gae
