is but ke har fareb pe qurban se rahe
ek umr apne mitne ke saman se rahe

us jaan-nawaz kuche mein hum bhi rahe magar
be-dil kabhi rahe kabhi be-jaan se rahe

rindan-e-mai-kada hain ki tang aa ke uth gae
yaran-e-mai-kada hain ki anjaan se rahe

us mein chaman ka rang na is mein chaman ka rup
hum bu-e-gul se aaj pareshan se rahe

lab si liye jo khanda-e-yaran ke khauf se
barson hamare sine mein tufan se rahe

ye jaan aisi chiz hai kya phir bhi ham-nashin
hum un pe jaan de ke pasheman se rahe

gulshan mein josh-e-gul to bagula hain dasht mein
ahl-e-junun jahan bhi rahe aan se rahe
