husn ki dil mein mere jalwagari rahti hai
band is shisha-e-nazuk mein pari rahti hai

dil wahan khulta hai jis ja ki rahe jam-e-sharab
dana wan ugta hai jis ja ki tari rahti hai

tifli-o-ahd-e-jawani ka na puchho ahwal
be-khudi aage thi ab be-khabari rahti hai

bagh-e-alam mein nahin dast-e-karam ko hai zawal
shakh ye wo hai jo ta-hashr hari rahti hai

yaad mein jam-o-surahi ke tere ai saqi
dil bhara rahta hai aankhon mein tari rahti hai

mai-o-mashuq se daulat se bahaar-e-gul mein
chakkhiyan rahti hai hain yaron ki chari rahti hai

har ghadi rahta hai khayal-e-rukh-e-mahbub ka dhyan
aaj-kal samne kotah-nazari rahti hai

bhid si bhid lagi rahti hai kuche mein tere
jins ulfat ki magar wahan pe khari rahti hai

naqd-e-dil lete ho har ek ka be-bos-o-kanar
aap ke dhyan mein kya muft-bari rahti hai

hath pakda hai mera dast-e-junun ne jab se
har ghadi madd-e-nazar jama-dari rahti hai

baal khole nahin phirta hai agar wo saffak
phir kaho kyun mujhe aashufta-sari rahti hai

rind wan baste hain jis ja ho khum-o-khum-khana
sher wan rahte hain jis ja ki tari rahti hai
