ajab jauban hai gul par aamad-e-fasl-e-bahaari hai
shitab aa saqiya gul-ru ki teri yaadgari hai

riha karta hai sayyaad-e-sitamgar mausam-e-gul mein
asiran-e-qafas lo tum se ab rukhsat hamari hai

kisi pahlu nahin aaram aata tere aashiq ko
dil-e-muztar tadapta hai nihayat be-qarari hai

safai dekhte hi dil phadak jata hai bismil ka
are jallad tere tegh ki kya aab-dari hai

dila ab to firaq-e-yar mein ye haal hai apna
ki sar zanu pe hai aur khun-e-dil aankhon se jari hai

ilahi khair kijo kuchh abhi se dil dhadakta hai
suna hai manzil awwal ki pahli raat bhaari hai

'rasa' mahw-e-fasahat dost kya dushman bhi hain sare
zamane mein tere tarz-e-sukhan ki yaadgari hai
