shoalon se mohabbat ki meri jaan mein lagi aag
phir jaan se bhadak jism ke maidan mein lagi aag

ye aatish-e-gham hai ki dam-e-sard se apne
sar-chashma-e-khurshid-e-darakhshan mein lagi aag

us hur ke kuche mein bhare hum jo dam-e-garm
mardum ne kaha rauza-e-rizwan mein lagi aag

khandan jo hua yar hamein dekh ke giryan
logon ne kaha barq se baran mein lagi aag

in rozon mein hai rang jo ashkon ka gulabi
shayad ki mere dida-e-giryan mein lagi aag

garmi se nagar ke tere gun aab hua dekh
bulbul ne pukara ki gulistan mein lagi aag

nari hain jo pariyan ye sabab hai ki tumhaare
nur-e-rukh-e-raushan se paristan mein lagi aag

us aatishin-ru ko ba-lab-e-baam jo dekha
aalam ne kaha gumbad-e-gardan mein lagi aag

dariya mein wo dhoya tha kabhi dast-e-hinai
hasrat se wahin panja-e-marjaan mein lagi aag

ghairon ki taraf jo nazar-e-mehr se dekha
ghairat se mere sina-e-sozan mein lagi aag

kyun kohkan-o-qais rahen mujh se na nalan
nalon se mere koh-o-bayaban mein lagi aag

wo sokhta-dil hun main pas-az-marg jo guzra
marqad se mere yar ke daman mein lagi aag

'matam' hai kisi sokhta-dil ka asar-e-ah
be-wajh nahin kucha-e-jaanan mein lagi aag
