jald husn-o-jamal jata hai
nahin rahta ye haal jata hai

jab talak dekhta nahin us ko
dil mein kya kya khayal jata hai

kaun se waqt arz-e-haal karun
wo to har waqt tal jata hai

jis ka hota hai gham se dil bhaari
wo tere dar pe dal jata hai

sarson aankhon mein kyun na phule ab
zard odhe do-shaal jata hai

saf samjha nahin mujhe aashiq
baat kahte sambhaal jata hai

jaan deta hun jald dekhun to
nama-bar kaisi chaal jata hai

nukta-chinon ne kuchh kaha to kya
koi is mein kamal jata hai

kuchh rihai nazar nahin aati
yun hi ab ka bhi sal jata hai

aah misl-e-shab-e-jawani jald
kya ye roz-e-visal jata hai

dilbari wo sanam kare meri
kuchh bhala ehtimal jata hai

yun khuda ki khudai hai mamur
par kab apna khayal jata hai

tu to khush ho 'hasan' ke jaane se
tera ranj-o-malal jata hai
