kabhi to dekhe hamari araq-fishani dhuup
jale bhavon pe kare apni mehrbani dhuup
hamare daagh ko jab aftab ne dekha
hua ye zard nazar aae zaafrani dhuup
tap-e-firaq vo bad hai chadhe jo suraj ko
pighal ke barf ki surat ho paani paani dhuup
safar saqar hai hazaron balaen sar par hain
hai ek un men se aseb-e-asmani dhuup
tah-e-sahab rahe aftab-e-roz-e-firaq
shuaon se na kare mujh pe tegh-rani dhuup
kate jo raat bhi zakhmi-e-hijr ko to kya
hai maar dalne ko chandni ki saani dhuup
rahe shagufta ham is tarah jaise aag ke phuul
kabhi na dasht-navardi men ham ne paani dhuup
safed baal hue jaise tevar aate hain
bahut zaiif ko dete hai sargirani dhuup
hamen to fasl-e-zamistan bahut khush aati hai
vo thandi thandi hava aur vo suhani dhuup
lagae abr ka lukka na kis tarah chhatri
kare na chand se rangat ko asmani dhuup
ajab nahin gul-e-rukhsar sausani ho jaaen
bahar-e-husn ko hai afat-e-khizani dhuup
amiir shal-doshalon men garm rahat-o-aish
gharib ke liye jadon men zindagani dhuup
zara si garm hava men ye munh banati hain
na kar sakegi gulon ki mizaj-dani dhuup
muvafaqat na kabhi sard-o-garm men hogi
hai chandni miri piiri tiri javani dhuup
shabab yaad dilate hai sar-safedi-e-‘bahr’
hai aftab-e-javani ki ye nishani dhuup
