tabassum lab par aankhon mein nami hai
khuda jaane ye gham hai ya khushi hai

jo manzil aaj ahl-e-hosh ki hai
wo diwanon ki thukrai hui hai

kahan jae thaka-manda musafir
tu hi saya tu hi diwar bhi hai

hazaron hain sukun-e-dil ke saman
ye duniya phir bhi ghabrai hui hai

andhere chhu nahin sakte hain mujh ko
ki mere sath teri raushni hai

zaban kah de to ek hangama ho jae
nazar malum kya kya dekhti hai

na jaane kab tera daman chhua tha
magar hathon mein ab tak tharthari hai

wo begana hai utna zindagi se
jaise jitna shuur zindagi hai

jafaon ne hazaron rang badle
wafa apni jagah par aaj bhi hai

chalo ai zimma-daran-e-mohabbat
faraaz-e-dar par phir raushni hai

mere simte hue daman ko 'shaarib'
badi hairat se duniya dekhti hai
