dil bahut tang raha karta hai
rang be-rang raha karta hai

husn mein tere koi aib nahin
qubah mein dang raha karta hai

sulh ki dil se hain yan maslihaten
wan sar-e-jang raha karta hai

mohtasib ko tere mastanon se
khauf-e-sarchang raha karta hai

dil mera pi ke mohabbat ki sharab
nashsha mein bhang raha karta hai

farsi aar hai mujh majnun ko
nang se nang raha karta hai

jauhar-e-tegh dikhata hai husn
ishq chaurang raha karta hai

guftani haal nahin hai apna
kuchh ajab dhang raha karta hai

halab-e-rukh mein tere khalon se
lashkar-e-zang raha karta hai

manzil-e-gor ke diwanon ke
sina par sang raha karta hai

aalam-e-wajd tere maston ko
be-daf-o-chang raha karta hai

khunduq-e-dast-e-sanam se nadim
gul-e-aurang raha karta hai

tere gosh-e-shunawa ka mushtaq
har khush-ahang raha karta hai

bandish-e-chust se teri 'atish'
qafiya tang raha karta hai
