Gale mila na kabhi chand bakht aisa tha..

Gale mila na kabhi chaand bakht aesa tha,
Hara-bhara badan apna darakht aesa tha,

Sitare siskiyan bharte the oss roti thi,
Fasaana-e-jigar-e-lakht-lakht aesa tha,

Zara na mom hua pyar ki hararat se,
ChaTTakh ke toot geya dil ka sakht aesa tha,

Yeh aur baat ke woh labb thay phool se nazuk,
Koi na seh sake lehja karakht aesa tha,

Kahan ki sair na ki tosan-e-takhayyul pr,
Hamen to yeh bhi suleman ke takht aesa tha,

Idhar se guzra tha mulk-e-sukhan ka shehzada,
Koi na jaan saka saaz-o-rakht aesa tha..
