ishq tak apni dastaras bhi nahin
aur dil mail-e-hawas bhi nahin

ab kahan jaenge kharab-e-bahaar
aashiyan bhi nahin qafas bhi nahin

barq ki bekasi ko rota hun
ab nasheman mein khar-o-khas bhi nahin

kis ne dekha shaguftagi ka maal
zindagi itni dur-ras bhi nahin

hum asiron ke waste sarshaar
rasm-e-pabandi-e-qafas bhi nahin
