tum hamare nahin to kya gham hai
hum tumhaare to hain ye kya kam hai

baal bikhre hain aankh pur-nam hai
mar gaya kaun kis ka matam hai

husn ki shokhiyan zara dekho
gah shoala hai gah shabnam hai

muskura do zara khuda ke liye
sham-e-mahfil mein raushni kam hai

chha rahi hain ghataen sawan ki
zulf-e-gardun bhi aaj barham hai

ban gaya hai ye zindagi ab to
tujh se badh kar hamein tera gham hai

chaak daman hai kis liye gul ka
kis liye ashk-rez shabnam hai

mahfil-e-raqs ho ki sher-o-sharab
tum nahin ho to bazm-e-matam hai

har masarrat alam ka hai partaw
jo khushi hai amanat-e-gham hai

is mein aansu bhi hain tabassum bhi
zindagi ek tazad-e-paiham hai

shaikh sahab jarahat-e-dil ka
aap ke pas koi marham hai

is ko sajde kiye farishton ne
aadmi hai ye ibn-e-adam hai
