talkh guzre ki shadman guzre
zindagi ho to kyun garan guzre

tha jahan muddaton se sannata
hum wahan se bhi naghma-khwan guzre

marhale sakht the magar hum log
surat-e-mauj-e-rawan guzre

mere hi dil ki dhadkanen hongi
tum mere pas se kahan guzre

kyun na dhal jae mere naghmon mein
kyun tera husn raegan guzre

chand lamhe khayal-o-khwab sahi
chand lamhe anis-e-jaan guzre

kitne khamosh hadse 'jawed'
dil hi dil mein nihan nihan guzre
