tujh mein us gul se rang-o-bu kam hai
wo ziyaada hai is mein tu kam hai

ho koi kyon mughan ka minnat-kash
apna pine ko kya lahu kam hai

dil se insan ke ye hoti kab
hawas-o-hirs-o-arzu kam hai

ahl-e-ghairat ko ai falak kya kuchh
marg hai minnat-e-adu kam hai

dekh kar us bahaar-e-khubi ko
ho gaya gul ka rang-o-bu kam hai

baat baqi hai aur kaun si 'aish'
kya hui us se guftugu kam hai
