Teri guftagu mein hai jo chashni jo tere

teri guftagu mein hai jo chashni jo tere labon mein halawaten

na surur wo fasl-e-bahar mein na gulon mein latafaten

kahan rah gain teri nighaten wo saba kidhar ko nikal gai

teri ahaton ko taras gain mere jism-o-jan ki samaten

tere ang ang amin loch hai mere dil k soz-o-gadaz ka

mere khun-e-dil se raqam huin tere rang-o-bu ki hikayaten

meri chashm-e-gam dil-e-muztarib gam-e-arazu gam-e-justaju

liye phir raha hun nagar nagar kisi mehraban ki amanaten

Kabhi kitabon mein phul rakhna

kabhi kitabon mein phul rakhna

kabhi darakhton pe nam likhna

hamein bhi hai yad aj tak wo

nazar se harf-e-salam likhna

wo chand chehre wo behki baten

sulagte din the mehakti raten

wo chote-chote se kagzon par

muhabbaton k payam likhna

gulab chehron se dil lagana

wo chupke chupke nazar milana

wo arzuon k khwab bunna

wo qissa-e-natamam likhna

mere nagar ki hasin fizao

kahin jo un k nishan pao

to puchna ye kahan base ho

kahan hain un ka qayam likhna

gai ruton mein "Hassan" hamara

bas ek hi to ye mashgala tha

kisi k chehre ko subah kahna

kisi ki zulfon ko sham likhna

Koi mousam bhi hum ko raas nahin

Koi mousam bhi hum ko raas nahin
woh nahin hay tou kuch bhi paas nahin

aik muddat say dil k paas hay woh
aik muddat say dil udas nahin

jub say daikha hay shaam aankhon mein
tub say meray qayaim hawas nahin

meray lehjay mein us ki khushbo hay
us ki baaton mein meri baas nahin

Jitna Shaffaf hay tera aanchal
Utna ujla mera libaas nahin

samnay meray aik darya hay
hont sokhay hain phir bhi pyas nahin

jis ko chaha hay dil-o-jan say saqi
janay woh kion nazar shinaas nahin
