lahu mein phul khilane kahan se aate hain
nae khayal na jaane kahan se aate hain

ye kaun log hain har sham taq-e-mizhgan par
charagh-e-yaad jalane kahan se aate hain

khizan ki shakh mein hairan hai aankh ki konpal
palat ke ahd purane kahan se aate hain

samundaron ko sikhata hai kaun tarz-e-khiram
zamin ki tah mein khazane kahan se aate hain

zamam-e-abr gurezan hai kis ke hathon mein
muhit-e-khosha mein dane kahan se aate hain

safar-e-nasib parindo! tumhaare honton par
ye khush-gawar tarane kahan se aate hain

khushi ke ahd chale jate hain kahan 'sayyad'
udasiyon ke zamane kahan se aate hain
