tanhai se bachaw ki surat nahin karun
mar jaun kya kisi se mohabbat nahin karun

su-e-falak hawai safar hai to kya hua
dar jaun mahtab ki surat nahin karun

aankhen hain ya sharab ke saghar bhare hue
pi jaun kya khayal-e-shariat nahin karun

qabze mein un ke shahr-e-tilismat hi sahi
kho jaun kya khuda ki ibaadat nahin karun

jab tai hua ki raushni parwardigar hai
pahlu bachaun us ki itaat nahin karun

bazm-e-sukhan-taraaz mein nakaam hon to kya
chillaun apne fan ki hifazat nahin karun

wo aa gaya 'kamal' ki qimat ke aas-pas
bik jaun apne sach ki hifazat nahin karun
