Dasht mein ik telism e aab kay saath
Door takk hamm gaey sarab kay saath
Phir khizan aaei aur khizan kay baad
Khaar khilnay lagay gulaab kay saath
Raat bharr toot'ti huwi neendein
Jurr gaein sehr e maahtaab kay saath
Hamm sada ki tarah bujhay huway thay
Woh tha pehli si aab o taab kay saath
Chhoti umron ki pehli pehli baat
Kuchh takalluf say,kuchh hijab kay saath
Aur phir yeh nigaah e kheera bhi
Doob jaey gi aaftaab kay saath
Raat ki tashtari mein rakhi hain
Meri aankhein kisi kay khwab kay saath
Uss gali mein na kesay koei jaey
Shaam ko iss dill e kharab kay saath
Yeh faqat rasm hi nahien ay doast!
Dill bhi shamil hai intasab kay saath
Door takk hamm gaey sarab kay saath
Phir khizan aaei aur khizan kay baad
Khaar khilnay lagay gulaab kay saath
Raat bharr toot'ti huwi neendein
Jurr gaein sehr e maahtaab kay saath
Hamm sada ki tarah bujhay huway thay
Woh tha pehli si aab o taab kay saath
Chhoti umron ki pehli pehli baat
Kuchh takalluf say,kuchh hijab kay saath
Aur phir yeh nigaah e kheera bhi
Doob jaey gi aaftaab kay saath
Raat ki tashtari mein rakhi hain
Meri aankhein kisi kay khwab kay saath
Uss gali mein na kesay koei jaey
Shaam ko iss dill e kharab kay saath
Yeh faqat rasm hi nahien ay doast!
Dill bhi shamil hai intasab kay saath
