mauj-e-saba rawan hui raqs-e-junun bhi chahiye
khema-e-gul ke pas hi dajla-e-khun bhi chahiye

kashmakash-e-hayat hai sada-dilon ki baat hai
khwahish-e-marg bhi nahin zahr-e-sukun bhi chahiye

zarb-e-khayal se kahan tut sakengi bediyan
fikr-e-chaman ke ham-rikab josh-e-junun bhi chahiye

naghma-e-shauq khub tha ek kami hai mutriba
shola-e-lab ki khair ho soz-e-darun bhi chahiye

itna karam to kijiye bujhta kanwal na dijiye
zakhm-e-jigar ke sath hi dard-e-fuzun bhi chahiye

dekhiye hum ko ghaur se puchhiye ahl-e-jaur se
ruh-e-jamil ke liye haal-e-zabun bhi chahiye
