jis taraf haal-e-junun mein tere diwane gae
pichhe pichhe pairwi mein sare farzane gae

imtihan ka waqt hai aao madad ke waste
phir na kahna hum ghalat nazron se pahchane gae

shaikh-sahab apni izzat aap apne hath hai
mahfil-e-rindan mein kyun phir waz farmane gae

dekhiye is tarah paiman-e-wafa pura hua
shama jab raushan hui marne ko parwane gae

bulbul-o-gul ki kashish aur dast-e-gul-chin se gila
kya wo samjhe jo chaman se su-e-virane gae

wo chaman mein kya gae goya bahaaren aa gain
hum jidhar jaane lage hain sath virane gae

zabt ne dekha hai aisa waqt bhi gulshan mein jab
dad-khwahi ke liye gulchin se gul-khane gae
