huzur-e-ghair tum ushshaq ki tahqir karte ho
mohabbat karne walon ki yahi tauqir karte ho

abas tum khwahish-e-wasl-e-but-e-be-pir karte ho
jo qismat mein nahin hai us ki kya tadbir karte ho

zamin-o-asman ka farq hai khurshid-o-zarre mein
muqabil chand se kya yar ki taswir karte ho

dam-e-akhir lade wahshi ke zindan mein ye ghul hoga
sitam karte ho viran khana-e-zanjir karte ho

jo mujh sauda-zada ne ki kabhi tashrih zulfon ki
to bole hans ke kya uljhi hui taqrir karte ho

musafir ke liye hai fikr-e-gor ai munimo lazim
imarat kya sara-e-dahr mein tamir karte ho

sahar tak nind ud jati hai ham-sae ki to be-shak
asar kya khak aur ai nala-e-shab-gir karte ho

jo mashq-e-harf-e-la karta hun kahte hain daqiqa-ras
muama-e-dahan-e-yar kya tahrir karte ho

abas dil tod kar yaad-e-butan mein mahw ho itna
khuda ke ghar ko dha kar but-kada tamir karte ho

hamare baad aaoge to kya ai nama-bar kahna
hum aakhir hote hain aane mein tum takhir karte ho

khat-o-rukh ki sifat mein rat lagi rahti hai jo tum ko
'qalaq' kya hifz quran ka ma-e-tafsir karte ho
