mahfil-e-dost mein go sina-figar aae hain
surat-e-naghma ba-andaza-e-bahaar aae hain

is nazar se ki tere zulm ki tashhir na ho
be-qarari mein liye dil ka qarar aae hain

ek pindar-e-khudi jis ko bacha rakkha tha
aaj hum wo bhi teri bazm mein haar aae hain

zulmat-e-sham-e-khizan yaad karegi barson
hum jab aae hain gulistan-ba-kanar aae hain

ai rafiqan-e-rah-e-shauq kahan ho bolo
hum tumhein shahr-o-bayaban mein pukar aae hain

hai pur-ashob faza phir bhi kisi jaanib se
dil ke virane mein paigham-e-bahaar aae hain

gham-e-manzil mein bhatakte hi guzar jati hai
chhod kar jab se teri rah-e-guzar aae hain

zindagi rose nai lagti hai dil walon ko
garche har rose wahi lail-o-nahaar aae hain

dekhna luti gai kaun si basti yaro
ud ke dil tak jo kudurat ke ghubar aae hain

apne anjam se khush apni wafa par nazan
muskuraate hue hum janib-e-dar aae hain
