Hawayien kuch rukhi si hain,

ankhien meri kuch sukhi si hain

jab hawaon me nami thi,

tabh bhi jeene me kuch kami thi.

yun ankhon ko rulaya na karo,

dard ka ehsas dilaya na karo,

koi nahi jo dil behla de,

khule zakhmo ko sehla de.

ankhon ki wo khumari nahi rahi,

neend se ab humari yaari nahi rahi,

bistar se silwatein gayab hain,

raat hamne maze* par guzari h. (maze= table)

jisse hum mohabbat karte the,

uski niyat hi badal gai hain,

ujaalo me mann nai lagta,

dunia ab kaali raat ban gai h.

pure chand par dil fenkte the hum,

aj kamini chandini chubhne lagi hain,

mitti ki khushboo lalchati thi mann ko,

ab baarish ne bhi mazak banaya hia,

pehle mehfile-raunak hua karte the, 

ab khandahron me raat guzaari hain,

kabhi gulshan me mila karte the,

aj maikhane se hamari yaari hain....... (maikhana=bar)
