Kal chaudhveeN kee raat thee shab bhar raha charcha tera
Kuch nay kaha yeh chand hai kuch nay kaha chehra tera
Hum bhee vaheeN maujood thay hum say bhee sub poocha kiay
Hum hans diay hum chup rahay manzoor tha pardah tera
Is shehr maiN kis say milaiN hum say to chhooTee mehfilaiN
Har shaKHs tera naam lay har shaKHs deevana tera
Koochay ko teray chhoR kar jogi hee ban jaeN magar
Jungle teray, parbat teray, bastee teree, sehra tera
Too bawafa, too meherbaN, hum aur tujh say badgumaaN
Hum nay to poocha tha zara, yeh wasf kyon Thera tera
Hum par yeh saKHtee kee nazar, hum hain faqeer-e-rahguzar
Rasta kabhee roka tera, daman kabhi thama tera
Do ashk janay kis liay palkon pay aa kar tik gaey
Altaaf kee barish teree, akraam ka dariya tera
HaaN haaN teree soorat haseen laikin too aisa bhee nahiN
Is shakhs kay ash’ar say shohra hooa kya kya tera
Baydard suntee ho to chal, kehta hai kya achchee gazal
Aashiq tera, ruswa tera, shaer tera, ‘Insha’ tera
