khushi ke din hon to ujla libas sab pahnen
aur ek hum ki wahi jama-e-taab pahnen

utaren apne badan se akele-pan ki dhup
kisi nigah ko odhen kisi ke lab pahnen

ba-waqt-e-subah pahan lenge phir labaada-e-khushk
nam-e-visal hi achchha hai shab ki shab pahnen

kharida aur sulaya bhi istiri bhi kiya
magar samajh nahin aati wo suit kab pahnen

ajib in ke rawayyon mein bad-tamizi hai
ye ahl-e-shahr kabhi jama-e-adab pahnen

pahanne ki hamein aazadi mil rahi hai magar
samaj jis ko samajhta hai ma-wajab pahnen

hamare dil ne gawara nahin kiya 'yawar'
hum us ke hijr mein pairahan-e-tarab pahnen
