lagae baithe hain mehndi jo mere khun se poron mein
yahi to rahzanon mein hain yahi hain dil ke choron mein

pade rahte hain aksar su-e-mushkin ru-e-jaanan par
bahut dekha hai hum ne ittifaq in kale goron mein

lagai aag un ke husn-e-alam-soz ne har-su
jalane chau-lakha baithe hain yun kore sakoron mein

wufur-e-sohbat-e-aghyar se kuchh aise khul khele
na wo jhenpen hazaron mein na sharmaen karoron mein

hamein ku-e-butan se do-qadam uthne nahin deti
hamari na-tawani in dinon hai aise zoron mein

aman deta nahin wo chahne walon ko mar kar bhi
hamare nam ko zalim ne pitwaya dhindhoron mein

mere nalon ka 'ashiq' rang udaya andalibon ne
khiram-e-yar ki shohrat hui sare chakoron mein
