baaten jo thin durust purane nisab mein

ye zikr aaine se subh-o-sham kis ka hai

sharab-KHana tera aisa intiKHab nahin hai

uruj auron ko kuchh din hai ahrman ki tarah

dil mein jo baat khaTakti hai dahan tak pahunche

baadban

ek dil hai ki ujaD jae to basta hi nahin

zindagi nam isi mauj-e-mai-e-nab ka hai

us ka to ek lafz bhi hum ko nahin hai yaad

pursish-e-haal bhi itni ki main kuchh kah na sakun

kuchh log jo KHamosh hain ye soch rahe hain
