mast udte parindon ko aawaz mat do ki dar jaenge
aan ki aan mein sare auraq-e-manzar bikhar jaenge

sham chandi si ek yaad palkon pe rakh kar chali jaegi
aur hum raushni raushni apne andar utar jaenge

kaun hain kis jagah hain ki tuta hai jin ke safar ka nasha
ek dubi si aawaz aati hai paiham ki ghar jaenge

ai sitaro tumhein apni jaanib se shayad na kuchh de saken
hum magar raston mein rakhe sab charaghon ko bhar jaenge

waqt mein ek jagah si banate hue tera lamhe yahi
koi andhi kahani mere dil pe tahrir kar jaenge

hum ne samjha tha mausam ki be-rahmiyon ko bhi aisa kahan
is tarah barf girti rahegi ki dariya thahar jaenge

aaj aaya hai ek umr ki furqaton mein ajab dhyan sa
yun faramoshiyan kaam kar jaengi zakhm bhar jaenge
