bhole ban kar haal na puchho bahte hain ashk to bahne do
jis se badhe bechaini dil ki aisi tasalli rahne do

rasmen is andher-nagri ki nai nahin ye purani hain
mehr pe dalo raat ka parda mah ko raushan rahne do

ruh nikal kar bagh-e-jahan se bagh-e-jinan mein ja pahunche
chehre pe apne meri nigahen itni der to rahne do

khanda-e-gul bulbul mein hoga gul mein naghma bulbul ka
qissa ek zabanen do hain aap kaho ya kahne do

itna junun-e-shauq diya kyun khauf jo tha ruswai ka
baat karo khud qabil-e-shikwa ulte mujh ko rahne do
