ye hādse mire fan ko nikhār bhī deñge
hayāt ko nafas-e-sho.ala-bār bhī deñge
ye uñgliyāñ ki jo raqsāñ haiñ sāz-e-ishrat par
ham un se kākul-e-gītī sañvār bhī deñge
ḳhizāñ-rasīda ye ġhunche ye ḳhār-o-ḳhas yā sumūm
chaman ko muzda-e-fasl-e-bahār bhī deñge
payām-e-sub.h-e-masarrat kahāñ muqaddar meñ
kisī tarah jo shab-e-ġham guzār bhī deñge
kuchh aur socho mire haq meñ dushmanoñ ki mujhe
matā-e-ġham to mire ġham-gusār bhī deñge
kise ḳhabar thī ki ālām-e-zindagī ‘maikash’
ḳhumār-e-bāda-e-ishrat utaar bhī deñge
