aaina-khana karenge dil-e-nakaam ko hum
pherenge apni taraf ru-e-dil-aram ko hum

sham se subh talak daur-e-sharab aakhir hai
rote hain dekh ke khandan dahan-e-jam ko hum

yaad rakhne ki jagah hai ye tilism-e-hairat
subh ko dekhte hi bhul gae sham ko hum

aankh wo fitna-e-dauran kise dikhlata hai
shoabada jaante hain gardish-e-ayyam ko hum

fitna-angezi bhi chhupti hai kahin parde mein
sunte hain gabr o musalman se tere nam ko hum

khun-e-qasid to wo saffak samajhta hai halal
kisi ghammaz se bhejwaenge paigham ko hum

panw pakde hain zamin ne ye tere kucha ki
rah-e-sad-sala samajhte hain ab ek gam ko hum

dida-e-yar kahen kya use kaif-e-mai mein
bhun kar roz gazak karte hain baadam ko hum

beza-e-khat se hui us ki kudurat dah-chand
ab safai ke liye dhundenge hajjam ko hum

yahi tahsil-e-mohabbat ka hai aalam ta-haal
pukhta karte hain hanuz aarzu-e-kham ko hum

lutf hasil ho jo zulfon mein giraftari ka
mol len dil ki asiri ke liye dam ko hum

kucha-e-yar mein apna jo guzar hota hai
nigaran rahte hain hasrat se dar-o-baam ko hum

husn se ishq ki khatir hai khuda ne bheja
karte hain 'atish' use aae hain jis kaam ko hum
