kis ko malum ki wo log kahan rahte hain
teri dhun mein jo shab-o-roz rawan rahte hain

jo fasane sabaq-amoz jahan rahte hain
ta-dam-e-marg wahi wird-e-zaban rahte hain

talkhi-e-gham hi sahi talkhi-e-ayyam sahi
gamzan hum ba-rah-e-zinda-dilan rahte hain

be-zabani pe na ja apni ki majzub sahi
khud-faramosh haqiqat-nigaran rahte hain

teri mahfil mein charaghon ki zarurat kya hai
gham ke shoale to sar-e-sham jawan rahte hain

mausam-e-gul mein bhi hum ahl-e-junun zindan mein
be-niyaz-e-khabar-e-sud-o-ziyan rahte hain
