kaba hai kabhi to kabhi but-khana bana hai
ye dil bhi ajab chiz hai kya kya na bana hai

jis roz se dil aap ka diwana bana hai
ek lafz bhi nikla hai to afsana bana hai

ye aaj ka din hashr ka din to nahin yarab
apna tha jo kal tak wahi begana bana hai

tinkon ka to bas nam hai sachchai yahi hai
ek jehd-e-musalsal hai jo kashana bana hai

takhrib ke parde mein hi tamir hai saqi
shisha koi pighla hai to paimana bana hai

takmil-e-wafa hosh mein mumkin hi nahin tha
diwana samajh bujh ke diwana bana hai

duniya mein koi mol na tha 'shauq' ka lekin
qismat hai jo sang-e-dar-e-jaanana bana hai
