jam-o-mina hai giran baada-e-barsat giran
saqiya tere bina hai yahan har baat garan

aarzu apni bayan un se karen to kaise
un pe har baat garan did-o-mulaqat garan

bas yahi soch ke karte nahin izhaar-e-khayal
un pe guzren na kahin apne khayalat-e-garan

aisa lagta hai ki har su hai jahannum barpa
is qadar ho gae hain aaj ke haalat garan

zindagi kaise guzarenge bhala hum 'maqbul'
din giran subh garan sham garan raat garan
