husn par zeba nahin ye lan-tarani aap ki
chaar din ki chandni hai naujawani aap ki

hum bhi kuchh munh se jo kah baithen to phir kitni rahe
dekhiye achchhi nahin ye bad-zabani aap ki

kuchh samajh mein haal ye aata nahin hairan hun
aaj hai kaisi ye mujh par mehrbani aap ki

baz aae hum ye apna-ap chhalla lijiye
har kisi ke hath mein hai ab nishani aap ki

rah mein bhi dekh kar munh pher lete hain huzur
aaj kal hai kis qadar na-mehrbani aap ki

do ghadi ek rang par qaem nahin husn-e-shabab
kya musawwir khinche taswir-e-jawani aap ki

aab-e-haiwan hai kahin zahr-e-halahal hai kahin
talkh-goi aap ki shirin-zabani aap ki

khwab mein hum ko na aane dete to hum jaante
ki raqibon ne ye kaisi pasbani aap ki

apne marne ka nahin gham ranj hai is baat ka
aaj ungli se utarti hai nishani aap ki

haal-e-dil sunte nahin ye kah ke khush kar dete hain
phir kabhi fursat mein sun lenge kahani aap ki

hum ko ye daulat kabhi milti to hum bhi jaante
hogi jis ke waste hogi jawani aap ki
