udhar saba ne khabar di aa kar ki aaj abr-e-bahaar aaya
idhar gareban siye hue main chaman mein diwana-war aaya

dua hai apni yahi shab-e-gham na ho kabhi iztirab-e-dil kam
ye zindagi zindagi kahan phir jo dil ko apne qarar aaya

gila sitam ka jafa ka shikwa zaban pe aaya tumhin kaho kab
ye kyun hai phir hum se sargirani ye dil mein kaise ghubar aaya

sukun ho kis tarah mayassar nasib ho chain kaise aakhir
na maut aai mariz-e-gham ko na wo shab-e-intizar aaya

na jaane kyun josh-e-girya ab ke bajae ghatne ke badh raha hai
wagarna mahfil se yun to teri main barha ashk-bar aaya
