aaye kuchh abr kuchh sharaab aaye
usake baad aaye jo azaab aaye
baam-e-miinaa se maahataab utare
dast-e-saaqii me.n aafataab aaye
kar rahaa thaa Gam-e-jahaa.N kaa hisaab
aaj tum yaad behisaab aaye
har raG-e-Kuu.N me.n phir charaaGaa.N ho
saamane phir wo be-naqaab aaye
'faiz' kii raah sar-ba-sar ma.nzil
ham jahaa.N pahu.Nche kaamayaab aaye
% the following were not in the version I heard
umr ke har waraq pe dil kii nazar
terii mehar-o-wafaa ke baab aaye
is tarah apanii Kaamushii guu.Njii
goyaa har simt se jawaab aaye
