ulTi naqab ruKH se jo mahfil mein yar ne

sauda raha ki ishq-e-butan mein hai faeda

hum ko kiya tabah isi kar-o-bar ne

kyun bar-bar jaen na hum ku-e-yar mein

majbur kar diya hai dil-e-be-qarar ne

lazim nahin buto tumhein dawa KHudai ka

paida kiya hai is liye kya kirdgar ne

majbur ho ke baiTh rahe ku-e-yar mein

hum ko jawab de diya jab iKHtiyar ne

dil bahr-e-nazr yar ke aage jo le gae

bola ki aap lae hain sadqa utarne

sahra mein Thahre aur kabhi dasht mein phire

hum ko dikhai sair ye fasl-e-bahaar ne

'aughat' ghurur kyun na buton ko ho is qadar

un ko hasin banaya hai parwardigar ne
