kahin pe jism kahin par khayal rahta hai
mohabbaton mein kahan e'tidal rahta hai

falak pe chand nikalta hai aur dariya mein
bala ka shor ghazab ka ubaal rahta hai

dayar-e-dil mein bhi aabaad hai koi sahra
yahan bhi wajd mein raqsan ghazal rahta hai

chhupa hai koi fusun-gar sarab aankhon mein
kahin bhi jao usi ka jamal rahta hai

tamam hota nahin ishq-e-na-tamam kabhi
koi bhi umr ho ye la-zawal rahta hai

visal-e-jism ki surat nikal to aati hai
dilon mein hijr ka mausam bahaal rahta hai

khushi ke lakh wasael kharid lo 'alam'
dil-e-shikasta magar pur-malal rahta hai
