kya kahun ham-nashin ye mera bhag
ek jaan aur saikdon hain khadag

phir kabhi mai se tauba kar lunga
ab to botal ka khul gaya hai kag

dida-o-dil ki nibh nahin sakti
is mein pani hai aur us mein aag

kar ke wo zikr jaur dhaenge
tar bola ki hum ne bujha rag

ab khizan mein kahan wo rang-e-chaman
jald-tar lut gaya dulhan ka suhag

muflisi mein hai dil amiron ka
hum langoti mein khelte hain phag

dil hamara buton ko bhul gaya
ab na kashi nazar mein hai na prag

chor se kah rahe hain chori kar
aur wo kah rahe hain shah se jag

shoala-ru main ne kyun kaha un ko
aur bhi ho gae wo sun kar aag

bazm-e-aish-o-nashat ho gai khatm
ab kahan ragni kahan wo rag

kyun sambhalta nahin mizaj apna
hai dawa-o-maraz mein shayad lag

sab tere dost sab mere dushman
ek mera bakht ek tera bhag

koi lahze ko bhi nahin rukta
tausan-e-umr ki hai dhili bag

qaul de kar tera mukar jaana
mujh se itna lagaw itni lag

hai jidhar meri manzil-e-maqsud
main udhar ja raha hun bhaga bhag

main ne dekha ye bazm-e-alam mein
apni dafli hai aur apna rag

mausam-e-gul abhi nahin aaya
chal diye ghar mein hum laga kar aag

roz malte hain munh par apne bhabhut
ishq mein hum ne le liya bairag

dil laga kar mujhe hua malum
ishq mein hain bade bade se khadag

in ko tufan-e-khalq se kya dar
hazrat-e-'nuh' hain purane ghag
