Umr bhar ki talKH bedari ka saman ho gain

umr bhar ki talKH bedari ka saman ho gain
hae wo raaten ki jo KHwab-e-pareshan ho gain

main fida us chand se chehre pe jis ke nur se
mere KHwabon ki fazaen yusufistan ho gain

umr bhar kam-baKHt ko phir nind aa sakti nahin
jis ki aankhon par teri zulfen pareshan ho gain

dil ke pardon mein thin jo jo hasraten parda-nashin
aaj wo aankhon mein aansu ban ke uryan ho gain

kuchh tujhe bhi hai KHabar o sone wale naz se
meri raaten luT gain ninden pareshan ho gain

hae wo mayusiyon mein meri ummidon ka rang
jo sitaron ki tarah uTh uTh ke pinhan ho gain

bas karo o meri rone wali aankhon bas karo
ab to apne zulm par wo bhi pashiman ho gain

aah wo din jo na aae phir guzar jaane ke baad
hae wo raaten ki jo KHwab-e-pareshan ho gain

gulshan-e-dil mein kahan 'aKHtar' wo rang-e-nau-bahaar
aarzuen chand kaliyan thin pareshan ho gain
