wajh-e-rangini-e-hayat gai
tum gae sari kaenat gai

mausam-e-gul hai fasl-e-jama-dari
ehtiyaj-e-takallufat gai

jab se lazzat-kash-e-jafa hai dil
hajat-e-chashm-e-iltifat gai

subh tak muntazir rahe anjum
tum na aae tamam raat gai

badh gaya aur rang-e-istighna
dard-e-dil kah ke apni baat gai

un ki aankhon se dhal pade aansu
maya-e-husn ki zakat gai

lab-e-naushin-e-yar ki khatir
dil se shirini-e-hayat gai

aashiqi ke qimar-khane mein
jo bhi bazi lagai mat gai
