josh-o-kharosh par hai bahaar-e-chaman hanuz
pite hain nau-jawan sharab-e-kuhan hanuz

pata nahin main yar ko mel-e-sukhan hanuz
madum hai kamar ki tarah se dahan hanuz

barson se ro raha hun shab-o-roz muttasil
hanste hain muddaton se mere zakhm-e-tan hanuz

rukhsar-e-yar par nahin aaghaz-e-khat abhi
dekha nahin in aankhon ne suraj gahan hanuz

anjam-e-kar ka nahin aata khayal kuchh
ghurbat mein bhule baithe hain yar-e-watan hanuz

aalam un abruon ki kaji ka jo hai so hai
bal kha rahi hai zulf-e-shikan-dar-shikan hanuz

khilat ki kya umid rakhen aasman se hum
us ne to dab rakkha hai apna kafan hanuz

aalam hijab-e-yar ka ta-haal hai wahi
khalwat-nashin hai raushni-e-anjuman hanuz

apne safa-e-sina ka hairan kar hai
dekha nahin hai aaine ne wo badan hanuz

har-chand bagh-e-dahr mein muddat se hun muqim
'atish' nazar pada na wo seb-e-zaqan hanuz
