subh-dam bhi yun fasurda ho gaya
ai dil-e-nazuk tujhe kya ho gaya

sina-e-barbat se jo shoala utha
gham-zadon ke dil ka naghma ho gaya

shukriya ai gardish-e-jam-e-sharab
main bhari mahfil mein tanha ho gaya

raat dil ko tha sahar ka intizar
ab ye gham hai kyun sawera ho gaya

puchhiye us se gham-e-saz-e-khulus
chaar hi din mein jo ruswa ho gaya

bujh gai kuchh is tarah sham-e-'salam'
jaise ek bimar achchha ho gaya
