be-khudi mein hai na wo pi kar sambhal jaane mein hai
lutf pa-e-yar par jo laghzishen khane mein hai

tere wade teri yaaden tere naghme tere khwab
husn se bharpur daulat mere kashane mein hai

saghar-o-mina mein lahraati hai har mauj-e-sharab
ek jawani ka talatum aaj maikhane mein hai

bazm-e-duniya mein hain husn-o-ishq yun jalwa-numa
raushni hai shama mein to soz parwane mein hai

mai ki ek ek bund se tufan-e-masti hai ayan
kis ki mai-bar ankhdiyon ka aks paimane mein hai

nur ki barish abhi hone de thodi der aur
ek zara si der hi to raat dhal jaane mein hai

lakh fitrat ne dikhai barq ki chashmak-zani
us mein wo shokhi kahan jo tere sharmane mein hai

jaan bhi dil bhi jigar bhi aarzu-e-wasl bhi
un ke pesh apna sabhi kuchh aaj nazrane mein hai

mai ubhar kar jam mein angdaiyan lene lagi
kaisa madd-o-jazr saqi tere maikhane mein hai

'charkh' main na-ashna hun hijr ke mahaul se
wasl ka rangin pahlu mere afsane mein hai
