amir lakh idhar se udhar zamana hua
wo but wafa pe na aaya main be-wafa na hua

sar-e-niyaz ko tera hi aastana hua
sharab-khana hua ya qimar-khana hua

hua farogh jo mujh ko gham-e-zamana hua
pada jo dagh jigar mein charagh-e-khana hua

ummid ja ke nahin us gali se aane ki
ba-rang-e-umr mera nama-bar rawana hua

hazar shukr na zae hui meri kheti
ki barq o sail mein taqsim dana dana hua

qadam huzur ke aae mere nasib khule
jawab-e-qasr-e-sulaiman gharib-khana hua

tere jamal ne zohra ko daur dikhlaya
tere jalal se mirrikh ka zamana hua

koi gaya dar-e-jaanan pe hum hue pamal
hamara sar na hua sang-e-astana hua

farogh-e-dil ka sabab ho gai bujhi jo hawas
sharar-e-kushta se raushan charagh-e-khana hua

jab aai josh pe mere karim ki rahmat
gira jo aankh se aansu dur-e-yagana hua

hasad se zahr tan-e-asman mein phail gaya
jo apni kisht mein sarsabz koi dana hua

chune mahinon hi tinke gharib bulbul ne
magar nasib na do roz aashiyana hua

khayal-e-zulf mein chhai ye tirgi shab-e-hijr
ki khal-e-chehra-e-zakhmi charagh-e-khana hua

ye josh-e-girya hua mere said hone par
ki chashm-e-dam ke aansu se sabz dana hua

na puchh naz-o-niyaz us ke mere kab se hain
ye husn o ishq to ab hai use zamana hua

uthae sadme pe sadme to aabru pai
amir tut ke dil gauhar-e-yagana hua
