kis se wafa ki hai umid kaun wafa-shiar hai
ai mere be-qarar dil kis liye be-qarar hai

sun to rahe hain der se shor bahut bahaar ka
jaane kahan khile hain phul jaane kahan bahaar hai

kyun na tere khayal mein zamzama-khwan guzar chalen
yun bhi hamari rah mein gardish-e-rozgar hai

raat se hum nahin udas raat udas hi sahi
raat to subh ke liye waqfa-e-intizar hai

ab bhi mazaq-e-dard se meri shabon mein hai gudaz
mere labon pe aaj bhi naghma-e-husn-e-yar hai
