tu hamesha rahta hai chin-bar-jabin afsurda dil
phir kisi ki bazm-e-ishrat mein na ja bahr-e-khuda

khud hi apni jaan se be-zar tu insaf kar
tujh se ahl-e-bazm phir kis tarah khush honge bhala

chahiye is tarah jaana mahfil-e-ahbab mein
bagh mein jis tarah khush khush aati hai baad-e-saba

khair-maqdam ka ishaara jhum kar karti hai shakh
aur chatak kar deti hain kaliyan sada-e-marhaba

jis shajar ke pas se guzre laga wo jhumne
pahunche jis ghunche tak afsurda tha wo hansne laga

dil pe jo guzre wo guzre kyun kisi ko ho khabar
sab se badh kar hai khuda tu haal dil ka jaanta

shadi-o-gham jab ki donon hain jahan mein be-sabaat
waqt apna kat de hans bol kar bahr-e-khuda
