dil mera soz e nihan se be mahaba jal gaya
atish e khamosh ke manind goya jal gaya

Paison ki Daud Me Aise Daude,

Jab Apane Sapno Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahi.

Tu Hi Bata E Zindagi,Iss Zindagi Ka Kya Hoga,
Ki Har Pal Marne Walon Ko,Jeene Ke Liye Bhi Waqt Nahi.

Mere pate se khalaq ko kyon tera ghar mile.

Saqi gari ki sharm karo aaj warna ham
Har shab piya hi karte hain, mai jis qadar mile.

Tujh se to kuchh kalaam nahin lekin ai nadim.
Mera salaam kaheyo agar naama bar mile.

Tum ko bhi ham dikhaenge Majnun ne kya kiya
Fursat kashaakash-e-gham-e-pinhaan se gar mile.

Laazim nahin ke khizar ki ham pairwi karen
Maana ke ek bazurg hamen ham safar mile.

Ai saaknaan-e-kucha-e-dildaar dekhna
Tum ko kahin jo Ghalib-e-aashufta sar mile.
