zanjīr-e-junūñ kuchh aur khanak ham raqs-e-tamannā dekheñge

duniyā kā tamāsha dekh chuke ab apnā tamāsha dekheñge

ik umr huī ye soch ke ham jaate hī nahīñ gulshan kī taraf

tum aur bhī yaad aaoge hameñ jab gul koī khiltā dekheñge

kyā fā.eda aise manzar se kyuuñ ḳhud hī na kar leñ band āñkheñ

itnī hī baḌhegī tishna-labī ham aap ko jitnā dekheñge

tum kyā samjho tum kyā jaano furqat meñ tumhārī dīvāne

kyā jāniye kyā kyā dekh chuke kyā jāniye kyā kyā dekheñge

hone do añdherā aaj kī shab gul kar do charāġhoñ ke chehre

ham aaj ḳhud apnī mahfil meñ dil apnā hī jaltā dekheñge

'naushād' ham un kī mahfil se is vāste uTh kar aa.e haiñ

parvānoñ kā jalnā dekh chuke ab apnā taḌapnā dekheñge
