sahal yun rah-e-zindagi ki hai
har qadam hum ne aashiqi ki hai

hum ne dil mein saja liye gulshan
jab bahaaron ne be-rukhi ki hai

zahr se dho liye hain hont apne
lutf-e-saqi ne jab kami ki hai

tere kuche mein baadshahi ki
jab se nikle gadagari ki hai

bas wahi surkh-ru hua jis ne
bahr-e-khun mein shanawari ki hai

jo guzarte the 'dagh' par sadme
ab wahi kaifiyat sabhi ki hai
