naghma-ha-e-asar-andaz kahan se laun
soz mein duba hua saz kahan se laun

be-kasi hamdam-o-hamraaz kahan se laun
gham mein dubi hui aawaz kahan se laun

ishq ne jis ke liye qais ka jama pahna
husn-e-khud-bin ke wo andaz kahan se laun

uf wo duzdida nigahon ke hasin nazzare
uf wo tere ghalat-andaz kahan se laun

maut hai mere liye talkhi-e-anjam-e-hayat
tujh ko ai lazzat-e-aghaz kahan se laun

sunne walon ko jo khud-rafta kare ai 'ahmar'
apne sheron mein wo eajaz kahan se laun
