Ab wo kahte hain muddaa kahiye

ab wo kahte hain muddaa kahiye
sochta hun ki 'naqsh' kya kahiye

zindagi zindagi se ruTh gai
hae ab kis ko aashna kahiye

hai taghaful ka kyun gila un se
aah-e-sozan ko na-rasa kahiye

apni kashti to Dub hi jati
azm-e-mohkam ko naKHuda kahiye

thartharahaT haya ki us ruKH par
raqs-e-nairangi-e-saba kahiye

khoi khoi hain dhaDkanen dil ki
phir mohabbat ki ibtida kahiye

ittifaqan ye aap ka milna
ek rangin hadsa kahiye

na-shanas-e-alam ho jo hasti
sach to ye hai ki be-maza kahiye

dushman-e-jaan to dushman-e-jaan hai
ghamgusaron ko 'naqsh' kya kahiye
