raftagan ka bhi khayal ai ahl-e-alam kijiye
aalam-e-arwah se sohbat koi dam kijiye

haalat-e-gham ko na bhula chahiye shadi mein bhi
khanda-e-gul dekh kar yaad ashk-e-shabnam kijiye

aib-e-ulfat roz-e-awwal se meri tinat mein hai
dagh-e-lala ke liye kya fikr-e-marham kijiye

apni rahat ke liye kis ko gawara hai ye ranj
ghar bana kar gardan-e-mehrab ko kham kijiye

ishq kahta hai mujhe ram us but-e-wahshi ko kar
husn ki ghairat use samjhati hai ram kijiye

raat sohbat gul se din ko ham-baghal khurshid se
rashk agar kije to rashk-e-bakht-e-shabnam kijiye

dida-o-dil ko dikhaya chahiye didar-e-yar
husn ke aalam se aainon ko mahram kijiye

shakl-e-gul hans hans ke roz-e-wasl kate hain bahut
hijr ki shab subh ro kar misl-e-shabnam kijiye

thi saza apni jo shadi-marg qismat ne kiya
hijr mein kis ne kaha tha wasl ka gham kijiye

aap ki nazuk kamar par bojh padta hai bahut
badh chale hain had se gesu kuchh inhen kam kijiye

uth gai hain samne se kaisi kaisi suraten
roiye kis ke liye kis kis ka matam kijiye

roz mardum shab kiye deta hai surma pochhiye
khun hote hain bahut shauq-e-hina kam kijiye

aaine ko ru-ba-ru aane na dije yar ke
shana se 'atish' mizaj-e-zulf barham kijiye
