gulaab KHvaab davaa zahar jaam kya kya hai main aa gaya hooñ bataa intizaam kya kya hai

vo zamaana guzar gaya kab ka tha jo deewaana mar gaya kab ka

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

hamko dil se bhi nikala gaya phir shahar se bhi hamko patthar se bhi maara gaya phir zehar se bhi

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

kis ki holi jashn-e-nau-rozi hai aaj surkh may se saaqiya dastaar rang

ab ki holi men raha be-kaar rang aur hi laaya firaq-e-yaar rang

vo nahin bhoolta jahaan jaaun haaye main kya karoon kahaan jaaun

gair se kheli hai holi yaar ne dale mujh par deedaa-e-khoon-baar rang

teri soorat se kisi ki nahin milti soorat ham jahaan men tiri tasveer li.e firte hain
