ishq hun to sham-e-husn-e-yar ka parwana hun
husn hun to main charagh-e-kaba-o-but-khana hun

meri hasti kar-farma hai jahan tak dekhiye
rind hun main jam hun main saqi-e-mai-khana hun

koi diwana mujhe kahta hai saudai koi
waqia ye hai ki mahw-e-jalwa-e-jaanana hun

main hun un ki ibtida aur wo hain meri intiha
khatm ho jo husn par wo ishq ka afsana hun

han jala de khak kar de phunk de hasti meri
tu to sham-e-husn hai main to tera parwana hun

tum ho aalam tum se hai aalam magar ba-in-hama
tum ho aalam-ashna main tum se bhi begana hun

main hudud-e-shara se bahar nahin 'bismil' magar
kahne do jo kuchh kahun diwana hun diwana hun
