log kitne nidar ho gae
takhta-e-dar par so gae

darmiyan apne wo kaun the
bij nafrat ka jo bo gae

rah dikhlane wale hamein
raste mein kahin kho gae

phir na gulshan mein aae wo gul
tut kar shakh se jo gae

jis ne dekha hamein pyar se
hum usi shakhs ke ho gae

lamha-bhar ke liye aae the
bazm ko jagmaga to gae

sun ke haal-e-'sarosh'-e-hazin
aaj mahfil mein wo ro gae
