yahi tha waqf teri mahfil-e-tarab ke liye

chain paDta hai dil ko aaj na kal

gardish-e-jam nahin ruk sakti

dil ka moamla nigah-e-ashna ke sath

din Dhala sham hui phul kahin lahrae

gham-e-dauran gham-e-jaanan ka nishan hai ki jo tha

ye arz-e-shauq hai aaraish-e-bayan bhi to ho

naghma aisa bhi mere sina-e-sad-chaak mein hai

kisi ki ishwa-gari se ba-ghair-e-fasl-e-bahaar

hum bin gham-e-yar bhi jiye hain

dil hai aaina-e-hairat se do-chaar aaj ki raat

waiz-e-shahr KHuda hai mujhe malum na tha

sab ke jalwe nazar se guzre hain

ye kya tilism hai duniya pe bar guzri hai

mai ho saghar mein ki KHun raat guzar jaegi
