sajaen mahfil-e-yaran na shaghl-e-jam karen
to aur kaise tere gham ka ehtiram karen

kise bulaen chanaron mein aadhi raat gae
agar karen to kise subh ka salam karen

basaen qaf-e-tasawwur mein ek pari-wash ko
kuchh aaj ishrat-e-hijran ka ehtimam karen

julus-e-shola-rukhan kis taraf ko guzrega
koi batae kahan ahl-e-dil qayam karen

chalo ki khema-e-mahbub koi dur nahin
utho ki aaj ki shab mein junun ka nam karen

hamare jam mein mai bhi hai khun-e-dil bhi hai
ye dekhna hai khuda wale kya haram karen
