kuchh usūloñ kā nasha thā kuchh muqaddas ḳhvāb the

har zamāne meñ shahādat ke yahī asbāb the

kuchh usulon ka nasha tha kuchh muqaddas KHwab the

har zamane mein shahadat ke yahi asbab the

ġham se bikhrā na pā.emāl huā

maiñ to ġham se hī be-misāl huā

gham se bikhra na paemal hua

main to gham se hi be-misal hua

gard-e-shohrat ko bhī dāman se lipaTne na diyā

koī ehsān zamāne kā uThāyā hī nahīñ

gard-e-shohrat ko bhi daman se lipaTne na diya

koi ehsan zamane ka uThaya hi nahin

itnā royā huuñ ġham-e-dost zarā sā hañs kar

muskurāte hue lamhāt se jī Dartā hai

itna roya hun gham-e-dost zara sa hans kar

muskuraate hue lamhat se ji Darta hai

ḳhair se dil ko tirī yaad se kuchh kaam to hai

vasl kī shab na sahī hijr kā hañgām to hai

KHair se dil ko teri yaad se kuchh kaam to hai

wasl ki shab na sahi hijr ka hangam to hai
