Sar-Sar Gesu Hila Rahi Hai

sar-sar gesu hila rahi hai

sar par kaale khila rahi hai

furqat men khuun rula rahi hai

taqdir ye rang la rahi hai

daghon se dil jala rahi hai

ulfat sikke bitha rahi hai

daman men hai tere bu-e-kakul

kyuun mujh ko saba uda rahi hai

hal-e-tap-e-hijr kuchh na puchho

dil kha chuki jaan kha rahi hai

jheli hui hai jafa tabiat

barson hi mubtala rahi hai

kisra mahal na taq-e-jam hai

ai dil kis ki sada rahi hai

marta hai dil buton ke uupar

taqdir pahad dha rahi hai

tifli-o-javani khuub guzri

do din achchhi hava rahi hai

udti hai khaak us jagah par

barson jis ja faza rahi hai

ye bint-e-inab bahar-e-gul men

yaron ki bhi ashna rahi hai

laati nahin bu-e-yar nighat

us dil ki lagi bujha rahi hai

ham bhi the kabhi javan raana

apni bhi kabhi hava rahi hai

khulta nahin haal gul ka bulbul

shabnam paani chua rahi hai

ye fasl-e-bahar be-khudi ka

rasta ham ko bata rahi hai

gulshan men urus-e-gul ke uupar

shabnam moti luta rahi hai

phule nahin gul chaman ke andar

vahshat ankhen dikha rahi hai

fiqre se le aae us sanam ko

kyuun ‘muntahi’ baat kya rahi hai
