ujaale apni yaadon ke hamaare saath rahne dona jaane kis gali men zindagi ki shaam ho jaa.e

na jaane kyun gale se lagne ki himmat nahin hotina jaane kyun pitaa ke saamne bete nahin khulte

raam kathaa men jaane waale laakhon log raam ke jaisa banne vaala ek nahin

ham bhi gaav men shaam ko baitha karte the hamko bhi haalaat ne baahar bheja hai

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

na rakho kaan nazm-e-shairan-e-haal par itne chalo tuk meer ko sunne ki moti se piroota hai

dil vo nagar nahin ki phir aabaad ho sake pachtayoge suno ho ye bastii ujaad kar

shaam se kuchh bujha sa rehta hooñ dil hua hai charaaghh muflis ka

phool gul shams-o-qamar saare hi the par ha men un men tumhiin bhaaye bahut

vasl men rang ud gaya meraa kya judaai ko munh dikhaaunga
