gul ki aur bulbul ki sohbat ko chaman ka shana hai
sarw hai jun shama tis par fakhta parwana hai

roz o shab ya nauha ya zari hai ya aah-o-fughan
ya ilahi ye koi dil hai ki matam-khana hai

tan kar us ki tegh ke aage hua hai sar-ba-kaf
hai qayamat hai ghazab ye dil hai ya diwana hai

bulbul-e-taswir ki manind said-e-dil ke tain
ne hawa udne ki ne parwa-e-ab-o-dana hai

ek haalat par na dekha us ko hum ne ek aan
gah gul o gah bulbul o gah shama o gah parwana hai

moatakif ho shaikh apne dil mein masjid se nikal
sahib-e-dil ki baghal mein dil ibaadat-khana hai

mai-kasho mujh ko tumhaari bazm ki hasrat nahin
pas mere dida o dil shisha o paimana hai

khwab mein the jab talak tha dil mein duniya ka khayal
khul gain aanhken to dekha hum ne sab afsana hai

sher ustadana o 'hatim' hai be-bakana-waza
taba aazadana o auqat darweshana hai
