Wo Aaftab Mein Hai Aur Na Mahtab Mein Hai

wo aaftab mein hai aur na mahtab mein hai

jo raushni ki tere husn-e-be-naqab mein hai

chaman mein lala-o-gul sharmsar hote hain

ajab tarah ka asar husn-e-be-naqab mein hai

main apne ishq-e-farawan pe naz karta hun

mera kamal mere husn-e-intiKHab mein hai

ujaD gaya hai mera gulshan-e-hayat magar

junun-e-shauq mera aalam-e-shabab mein hai

najat us ki ba-juz aashiqi nahin hogi

phansa hua jo zamane ke pech-o-tab mein hai

wo bazm-e-shauq mein shamil kabhi nahin hoga

jo bewaquf ki uljha hua hisab mein hai

wo walwala hai meri zindagi ki ruh-e-rawan

jo walwala ki mere shauq-e-be-hisab mein hai

wo be-naqab kiya jiddat-e-taKHayyul ne

jo raaz-e-kohna riwayat ke naqab mein hai

maal-e-josh-e-amal sar-bulandi-e-qatra

ye raaz-e-zist nihan KHema-e-habab mein hai

sukut mein hai zamane ki maut poshida

hayat wo hai jo har lahza iztirab mein hai

mujhe qubul nahin roz-o-shab ki KHamoshi

meri hayat faqat shor-e-inqalab mein hai
