ab naye sal ki mohlat nahin milne vali
a chuk ab to shab-o-roz azabon vale

ab to sab dashna-o-khanjar ki zuban bolte hain
ab kahan log muhabbat k nisabon vale

zinda rahne ki tamanna ho to ho jate hain
fakhtaon k bhi kirdar uqabon vale

na mere zakhm khile hain na tera rang-e-hina
mausam aye hi nahin ab k gulabon vale
