dil hua hai mera kharab-e-sukhan
dekh kar husn-e-behijab-e-sukhan

bazm-e-mani mein sarkhushi hai use
jis kun hai nashsha-e-sharab-e-sukhan

rah-e-mazmun-e-taza band nahin
ta-qayamat khula hai bab-e-sukhan

jalwa-paira ho shahid-e-mani
jab zaban sun uthe naqab-e-sukhan

gauhar us ki nazar mein ja na kare
jin ne dekha hai aab-o-tab-e-sukhan

harja-goyan ki baat kyunki sune
jo suna naghma-e-rabab-e-sukhan

hai teri baat ai nazakat-e-fahm
lauh-e-dibacha-e-kitab-e-sukhan

hai sukhan jag manin adim-ul-misal
juz sukhan nin duja jawab-e-sukhan

ai 'wali' dard-e-sar kabhu na rahe
jab mile sandal-o-gulab-e-sukhan
