wo kaun hai fursat se mujhe yaad kare hai
dil gham se ho mamur to wo shad kare hai

phir dijiye diwane ki himmat ko zara dad
virane ka virana jo aabaad kare hai

sarmaya mohabbat ka teri jis ne hai luta
kya dega wo kyon us se tu fariyaad kare hai

t w ke hasin rup mein hai kaisi taraqqi
kirdar jawanon ka jo barbaad kare hai

aaegi kabhi subh-e-sukun-bakhsh yahan bhi
ummid yahi dard se aazad kare hai

ek shan se karti hun gawara use har din
jo tarz-e-sitam roz wo ijad kare hai

wo jis ne kabhi zakhm khilae the 'shagufta'
kya soch ke phir us ko hi tu yaad kare hai
