hai justuju ki khuub se hai khub-tar kahan
ab Thaharti hai dekhiye ja kar nazar kahan
hain daur-e-jam-e-avval-e-shab men khudi se duur
hoti hai aaj dekhiye ham ko sahar kahan
ya rab is ikhtilat ka anjam ho ba-khair
tha us ko ham se rabt magar is qadar kahan
ik umr chahiye ki gavara ho nish-e-ishq
rakkhi hai aaj lazzat-e-zakhm-e-jigar kahan
bas ho chuka bayan kasal-o-ranj-e-rah ka
khat ka mire javab hai ai nama-bar kahan
kaun o makan se hai dil-e-vahshi kanara-gir
is khanuman-kharab ne DhunDa hai ghar kahan
ham jis pe mar rahe hain vo hai baat hi kuchh aur
aalam men tujh se laakh sahi tu magar kahan
hoti nahin qubul dua tark-e-ishq ki
dil chahta na ho to zaban men asar kahan
'hali' nashat-e-naġhma-o-mai DhunDhte ho ab
aa.e ho vaqt-e-sub.h rahe raat bhar kahan
