khun bahane ke hain hazar tariq
rang lane ke hain hazar tariq

kaba-o-dair par nahin mauquf
us yagane ke hain hazar tariq

koi mazhab nahin zamane ka
is purane ke hain hazar tariq

uzr-e-masti o mai-parasti kya
bhul jaane ke hain hazar tariq

dil-sitani ke saikdon andaz
dil satane ke hain hazar tariq

yaad mein khwab mein tasawwur mein
aa ki aane ke hain hazar tariq

dil-lagi dil-dahi dil-arami
dil lubhane ke hain hazar tariq

dil mushabbak hua to farmaya
aane jaane ke hain hazar tariq

kis tariqe se ho nibah 'bayan'
ki zamane ke hain hazar tariq
