Gulab rut mein haseen chehro humein batao udaas kyun ho

Dilon pe beeti sari kahaniyan, sab sunao udaas kyun ho

Jo ranjishen dil mein pal rahi hain, munafqat mein wo dhal rahi hain

Bhula ke shikwey, mita ke doori, galay lagao, udaas kyun ho

Kitab-e-dil ke tamaam safhon pe hum ne likha hai lafz mohabbat

Humein hamari wafa ke aagey, saza sunao udaas kyun ho

Mohabbaton ka ho jis mein shamil saroor, saqi wo may pilao

Sharab khanay mein ghup andhera hai, dil jalao udaas kyun ho

Fareb khana bhi mashgala hai, fareb dena bhi mashgala hai

To dil ke lutney pe kaisa matam, khushi manao udaas kyun ho

Wo gulaab hathon mein le ke aana, wo baat karna, wo muskurana

Purani yaadon mein kho ke, maazi ka lutf uthao, udaas kyun ho

Dukhon ke mausam ke baad sukh bhi zaroor aaye ga dekh lena

Tamaam khadshey mita ke dil se hanso, hansao, udaas kyun ho
