haal meethe falon ka mat poochho raat din chaakooon men rahte hain

maut ka ek din muayyan hai neend kyun raat bhar nahin aati

kitne aish se rahte honge kitne itraate honge jaane kaise log vo honge jo us ko bhaate honge yaaro kuchh to zikr karo tum us ki qayamat baanhon ka vo jo simtate honge un men vo to mar jaate honge

raat ke shaayad ek baje hain sota hogaa meraa chaand

naap raha tha ek udaasi ki gehraai haath pakadkar waapas laayi hai tanhaaii vasl dinon ko kaafi chhota kar deta hai hijr badha deta hai raaton ki lambaai

dard bhi gul badan hua us pe is qadar hai nihaal ik ladki

zindagaani hui ada aise peeth-peeche yaqeen nahin the ham muflisi sab uda gaii manzil yaar haasil kahiin nahin the ham

sab junoon bood saqaafat tak hi kuchh nahin naaz vafaa vehshat men

guftagoo aur nahin vahman se sab vafaa peer davaa parvar men

neemjaan tak chhuta nahin daaman vo rahi gulbadan qaza kaamil
