Kali ghaTa kab aaegi fasl-e-bahaar mein

kali ghaTa kab aaegi fasl-e-bahaar mein
aankhen safed ho gain is intizar mein

kyun kar qarar aae dil-e-be-qarar mein
tum pure kab utarte ho qaul-o-qarar mein

tarik dasht ho gaya aankhon mein qais ki
pinhan hua jo naqa-e-laila ghubar mein

aae kabhi na phir tujhe sair-e-chaman mein lutf
baiThe agar tu aa ke dil-e-dagh-dar mein

lazim nahin ki mard musibat mein ho malul
KHandan hamesha rahta hai gul KHarzar mein

hai ye kisi ki chashm-e-siyah-mast ka asar
tauba bhi laDkhaDane lagi hai bahaar mein

hote wahan jo 'dagh' to dilli bhi dekhte
ab kya karenge ja ke us ujDe dayar mein

kya KHak apne dil ko tamanna-e-sher ho
juz KHar kuchh nahin chaman-e-rozgar mein

juz 'dagh' aaj bulbul-e-hindustan hai kaun
kahte hain hum pukar ke ye sau hazar mein

ai 'mashriqi' nasib na su-e-dua hai ye
kya gham jo jagta hun shab-e-intizar mein
