umr ka sath nibhaya hai is andaz ke sath
jaise karta ho wafa koi daghabaz ke sath

raat aaram se guzri ho ki dushwari se
har sahar ud ke chale hum nai parwaz ke sath

haar ke tut ke pahle hi qadam par gir jaen
hum agar jod len anjam ko aaghaz ke sath

main nahin shah-jahan par ye tamanna hai zarur
dafn kar dena mujhe bhi meri mumtaz ke sath

naghma-o-sher ke sangam pe naha le duniya
mere ashaar sune gar teri aawaz ke sath

naz-bardariyan us shokh ki allah allah
phul qadmon pe bikharte hain bade naz ke sath

naghma dilkash ho to har tarah asar karta hai
kabhi aawaz ke hamrah kabhi saz ke sath
