ye shafaq chand sitare nahin achchhe lagte

tamam fikr zamane ki Tal deta hai

yun wafa ke sare nibhao gham ki fareb mein bhi yaqin ho

kabhi muD ke phir isi rah par na to aae tum na to aae hum

mujhe rang de na surur de mere dil mein KHud ko utar de

shikasta-dil andheri shab akela rahbar kyun ho

abhi se kaise kahun tumko bewafa sahab

bahaaron ke aanchal mein KHush-bu chhupi hai

kis KHata ki saza mili usko

ye raushni tere kamre mein KHud nahin aai
