Wo Rind Kya Ki Jo Pite Hain Be-KHudi Ke Liye

wo rind kya ki jo pite hain be-KHudi ke liye

surur chahiye wo bhi kabhi kabhi ke liye

ye kya ki bazm mein shamen jala ke baiThe ho

kabhi milo to sar-e-rah dushmani ke liye

awadh ki sham rafiqon ko mah-jabinon ko

har ek chhoD ke aae the bambai ke liye

magar ye kya ki ba-juz-dard kuchh hamein na mila

ajib shahr hai ye ek ajnabi ke liye

hazar chahen na chuTegi hum se ye duniya

yahin rahenge mohabbat ki be-kasi ke liye

koi panah nahin koi ja-e-amn nahin

hayat johd-e-musalsal hai aadmi ke liye

ye kah raha hai koi apne jaan-nisaron se

kuchh aur chahiye ab rasm-e-ashiqi ke liye

kahan kahan na pukara kahan kahan na gae

bas ek tabassum-e-pinhan ki raushni ke liye
