tare ginne ke zamane ab kahan
aashiqi ke wo tarane ab kahan

kaun marta hai kisi ke waste
laila majnun ke fasane ab kahan

wo na dariya aur na gahri chahaten
sohni aur mahi diwane ab kahan

kaun chirega pahadon ke jigar
taisha-e-farhad jaane ab kahan

aankhon aankhon mein jo hote the kabhi
hir ranjhe ke nishane ab kahan

samne aa jae yusuf aur bas
wo zulekha ke bahane ab kahan

jao jao aashiq-e-'khanam' ki wo
bhole-pan ke sab zamane ab kahan
