Haalaat ki ujdi mehfil mein ab koi sulagta saaz nahin
Haalaat ki ujdi mehfil mein ab koi sulagta saaz nahin,
naghme toh lapakte hain lekin sholon sa kahin andaaz nahin.
Har barq-e-haseen ko dete hain zakhmon ke mehakte nazraane,
kaanton se bada iss gulshan mein phoolon ka koi dum-saaz nahin.
Ya saaya-e-gul ka hai ye karam ya farq hai daane paani ka,
panchhi toh wahi hain gulshan mein pehli si magar parwaaz nahin.
Marqad sa bana hai khushbu ka munh band kali ke seene mein,
aye shaam-e-gulistaan tu hi bataa ye bhi toh kisi ka raaz nahin.
Chhilke na suboo aur jhoom uthen qatra na mile aur pyaas bujhe,
ye zarf hai peene waalon ka saaqi ka koi eajaaz nahin.
Aye sehn-e-chaman ke zindaani kar jashn-e-tarab ki tayyaari,
bajte hain bahaaron ke kangan zanjeer ki ye aawaaz nahin. !!
