kiya salam jo saqi se hum ne jam liya
padhe darud jo pir-e-mughan ka nam liya

chah-e-zaqan mein gira chahta tha dil mera
daraaz umr ho zulf-e-rasa ne tham liya

kisi ka zor zabardast par nahin chalna
falak ne zulm kiya kis ne intiqam liya

nasib-war thi zulekha jo paya yusuf ko
kaniz ho gai is shakl ka ghulam liya

bhara labon ne barabar dam-e-masihai
jab us ke abruon ne hukm-e-qatl-e-am liya

mizaj puchha kisi ka to un ka munh dekha
kasak se hath mein aae agar salam liya

lagaya tha kahin dil hum ne wo maza chakkha
zaban ne phir na kabhi aashiqi ka nam liya

bhara hai aankh mein jadu khula ishaare se
zaban ka mizha-e-be-zaban se kaam liya

bahut kamar ke lachakne ka hai khayal un ko
jo do qadam bhi chale painchon ko tham liya

chadha khumar jo sar par utar gai izzat
amama rakh ke giro saghar-e-mudam liya

utha ke dagh liya haq-e-sai ka paisa
na murtashi ki tarah hum ne zar haram liya

hawa ko jaan di main ne zamin ko mitti
ada kiya dam-e-rukhsat jo qarz dam liya

muaf ki hai khuda ne zaif par taklif
sitam kiya agar ab dast-o-pa se kaam liya

qasam na khaunga tison kalam ki ai 'bahr'
kisi ka khwab mein bosa to la-kalam liya
