Jaan-e-afasaanaa yahii kuchh bhii ho afasaane kaa naam 
zindagii hai dil kii dhadakan tez ho jaane kaa naam 

qataraa qataraa zindagii ke zahar kaa piinaa hai Gham 
aur Khushii hai do ghadii pii kar bahak jaane kaa naam

intazaar-e-fasl-e-gul mei’n kho chuke aankho’n kaa noor 
aur bahaar-e-baagh letii hii nahii aane kaa naam

taab-e-naakaamii nahii to aarazuu kartaa hai kyaa
aarzuu hai mauj ke saahil se Takraane kaa naam

aaj tuu kal koii aur hogaa sadar-e-bazm-e-may 
saaqiyaa tujh se nahii ham se hai maikhaane kaa naam

vaaqif-e-"Mullah" na thii bazm-e-Khirad, ye tay huaa 
ho na ho, ye hai kisii mashahuur diivaane kaa naam
