lunj wo pa-e-talab hun kahin ja hi na sakun
shal ye ho dast-e-hawas hath badha hi na sakun

zid ye us ko hai jo roya main bhi chhup kar jaun
khol di aankh nazar khwab mein aa hi na sakun

dekh kar husn buton ka jo khuda se phir jae
dil-e-gumrah ko phir rah pe la hi na sakun

madad ai dast-e-junun pairahan-e-gul ki tarah
ye phate jama-e-asli ki sila hi na sakun

ya ilahi shab-e-waslat jo kahe jaane ko
panw so jaen ye us ke ki jaga hi na sakun

main wo gham-khwar hun gham aankh ki putli ka teri
dana-e-khal nahin hai ki jo kha hi na sakun

husn-e-mahfil hai to hone do usi khalwat mein
band quliyan nahin hain jo bula hi na sakun

sifat saya wo ek jaan-e-do-qalib hun main
dur ho lakh kabhi pas se ja hi na sakun

nazar uftada wo hun ashk-e-chakida ki tarah
girun aankhon se to nazron mein sama hi na sakun

ai kaman-dar jo tu mujh ko bulae sau bar
tir-e-jasta main nahin hun ki phir aa hi na sakun

ai sanam jo tu na mane ho teri mahfil se
ghair kya naz tera hai ki utha hi na sakun

na sahi wasf-e-dahan baal to suljhane do
zulf kuchh baat nahin hai jo bana hi na sakun

khaun saugand pe sahwan qasam ai but teri
qasmiya bhi jo main khaun kabhi kha hi na sakun

tana-e-ghair se ai zoaf jo baithe dil-e-zar
baat wo bar-e-garan ho ki utha hi na sakun

kya tamasha hai ki nazron mein hai lekin ai 'shad'
qurb-e-shah-rag main jo dhundun use pa hi na sakun
