yahi nahin ki bas gham-e-safar hamare sath hai
mizaj-e-shabnam o dil-e-sharar hamare sath hai

unhen kulah-e-khwajgi pe naz hai hua kare
ye anjuman ki anjuman magar hamare sath hai

shab-e-safar ka gham hi kya shab-e-safar hai mukhtasar
abhi to ek dal sa rahbar hamare sath hai

tumhaare damanon mein sang-ha-e-nau-ba-nau sahi
khayal-e-indimal-e-zakhm-e-sar hamare sath hai

wo log aur un ki wo dukan to badh gai magar
sitamgaron ki taba shishagar hamare sath hai

jise qadam qadam pe khud hi hajat-e-dawa na ho
batao koi aisa chaara-gar hamare sath hai

nahin agar tufang o tir o tesha o tabar to kya
dil-e-jawan junun-e-mo'atabar hamare sath hai
