Go zaraa sii baat par baraso.n ke yaaraane gaye 
lekin itanaa to huaa kuchh log pahachaane gaye 


garmii-e-mahafil faqat ik naaraa-e-mastaanaa hai 
aur vo Khush hai.n ki is lahafil se diivaane gaye 


mai.n ise shoharat kahuu.N yaa apanii rusvaaii kahuu.N 
mujhase pahale us galii me.n mere afasaane gaye 


yuu.N to vo merii rag-e-jaa.N se bhii the nazadiik tar 
aa.Nsuuo.n kii dhu.Ndh me.n lekin na pahachaane gaye 


vahashate.n kuchh is tarah apanaa muqadaar ho gaii.n 
ham jahaa.N pahu.Nche hamaare saath viiraane gaye 


ab bhii un yaado.n kii Khushbuu zehan me.n mahafuus hai 
baarahaa ham jin se gulazaaro.n ko mahakaane gaye 


kyaa qayaamat hai ki 'Khatir' kushtaa-e-shab bhii the ham 
sub_h jab huii to mujarim ham hii gardaane gaye
