nam badnam hai nahaq shab-e-tanhai ka

nam badnam hai nahaq shab-e-tanhai ka
wo bhi ek rukh hai teri anjuman-arai ka
aa chala hai mujhe kuchh wada-e-farda ka yaqin
dil pe ilzam na aa jae shakebai ka


ab na kanton hi se kuchh lag na phulon se lagao
hum ne dekha hai tamasha teri ranai ka
donon aalam se guzar kar bhi zamana guzra
kuchh thikana bhi hai is baadiya-paimai ka


khud hi betab tajalli hai azal se koi
dekhne ke liye parda hai tamannai ka
lag gai bhid ye diwana jidhar se guzra
ek aalam ko hai sauda tere saudai ka


phir usi kafir be-mehr ke dar par 'fani'
le chala shauq mujhe nasiya-farsai ka
