simab-washi tishna-labi ba-khabari hai
is dasht mein gar rakht-e-safar hai to yahi hai

is shahr mein ek aahu-e-khush-chashm se hum ko
kam kam hi sahi nisbat-e-paimana rahi hai

be-sohbat-e-rukhsar andhera hi andhera
go jam wahi mai wahi mai-khana wahi hai

is ahd mein bhi daulat-e-kaunain ke ba-wasf
har gam pe un ki jo kami thi so kami hai

har dam tere anfas ki garmi ka guman hai
har yaad teri yaad ke phulon mein basi hai

har sham sajae hain tamanna ke nasheman
har subh mai-e-talkhi-e-ayyam bhi pi hai

dhadka hai dil-e-zar tere zikr se pahle
jab bhi kisi mahfil mein teri baat chali hai

wo itr teri kakul-e-shab-rang ne chhidka
mahki hai khirad ruh kali ban ke khili hai
