Ashaar Na ab raqeeb na naseh na ghum-ghusaar koi Koi hum nafas nahi, koi hum nawa nahi hai Woh log khush kismat the Apni Maazi ke tasaavoor se hiraasa hoon mein Tum jo tehar jaao Mujh se pehali si mohabbat Aaeeye haath uThaaeN ham bhi

Duniya ne teri yaad se begaana kar diyatujh se bhi dil-fareb hain gham rozgaar ke**********

Hui hai hazrat-e-naaseh se guftagu ji shabwoh shab zaroor sar-e-kue-yaar guzri hai**********

Aur bhi gham hain zamaane meN mohabbat ke sivaaraahatein aur bhi hain vasl ki raahat ke sivaa**********

Woh baat saare fasaane me jis ka zikar na thawoh baat unk bahut naagawar guzri hai**********

DostoN us chashm-o-lab ki kuch kaho jis ke baghairgulistaN ki baat raNgeen hai na mai-khaane ka naam**********

Mil gaye ho to chalo rasm-e-duniya hi sahiwarna yuN pursish-e-ehwaal se kya hota hai**********

Gar baazi ishq ki hai, jo chaahe laga do Dar kaisagar jeet gaye to kya kehna, haare bhi to baazi maat nahi**********

Damaan-e-dil ko gulzaar bana rakha haiaao ek din dekh lo dil-e-pur khoon ka hunar**********

Kar raha tha gham-e-jahaaN ka hisaabaaj tum yaad behisaab aayehar rag-e-khooN meiN phir chiraaghaaN hosaamne phir woh be-naqaab aaye**********

Umar-e-jaaved ki dua karteFaiz woh itne kab hamaare the**********
