kisi gali men kiraye pe ghar liya usne phir us gali men gharo ke kiraye badhne lage

hui muddat ki ghalib mar gaya par yaad aata hai vo har ik baat par kehna ki yuñ hota to kya hota

shaakhon se toot jaayen vo patte nahin hain ham aandhi se koi kah de ki auqaat men rahe

teri soorat se hai aalam men bahaaron ko sabaat teri aankhoñ ke siva duniya men rakha kya hai

kyuuñ darein zindagi men kya hogaa kuchh na hogaa to tajurba hogaa

shab ko may khoob si pee subh ko tauba kar li rind ke rind rahe haath se jannat na gaii

lutate hain vo daulat husn ki baawar nahin aata ha men to ek bosa bhi badi mushkil se milta hai

aañsu hamaare gir ga.e un ki nigaah se in motiyon ki ab koi qeemat nahin rahi

aata hai jee men saaqi-e-mah-wash pe baar baar lab choom luun tira lab-e-paimaana chhod kar

baat ulti vo samjhte hain jo kuchh kahtaa hooñ ab ke poocha to ye kah dooñga ki haal achha hai
