wo jawani na rahi ab wo zamane na rahe
ahd-e-hangam-e-mohabbat ke fasane na rahe

qadr-e-hasti thi mujhe bahr-e-inayat-e-butan
wo jo jine ke bahane the bahane na rahe

saz-e-barbat ki nawa hai na wo aawaz-e-tarab
gungunate the jinhen ab wo tarane na rahe

wo jo baithe the ghadi bhar ko meri mahfil mein
the jo do chaar mere yar-o-yagane na rahe

jazba-e-shauq-e-safar apni jagah hai lekin
na safina raha koi wo thikane na rahe

khosha-e-umr se girte rahe saat-e-giran
khosha-e-umr mein ab waqt ke dane na rahe

koi kahta tha taaruf mein meri turbat par
kucha-e-ishq ke 'sayyad' wo diwane na rahe
