hairan si hai bhachak rahi hai
nargis kis gul ko tak rahi hai

aai hai bahaar ghunche chatke
kya phulon ki bu mahak rahi hai

mai-khane pe meinh baras raha hai
bijli kaisi chamak rahi hai

baqi hai asar abhi junun ka
sauda to gaya hai jhak rahi hai

puchho na jalan ka dil ke ahwal
ek aag padi dahak rahi hai

nargis ko to aankh utha ke dekho
kis yas se tum ko tak rahi hai

laila majnun ka ratti hai nam
diwani hui hai bak rahi hai

paigham-e-bahaar aan pahuncha
bulbul kya kya chahak rahi hai

mizhgan ka jo dil mein hai tasawwur
ek phans padi khatak rahi hai

ho jaega ram rafta rafta
wahshat to miti jhijak rahi hai

baqi jo ye jaan-e-na-tawan hai
kya zindon mein hai sisak rahi hai

aane ki tere hi muntazir hai
o maut kahan tu thak rahi hai

kya shokh hai wo sunahri rangat
kandan ki tarah damak rahi hai

ru-e-rangin araq-fishan hai
shabnam gul se tapak rahi hai

hum 'rind' hain bazm apni kis raat
be-jam-e-mai o gazak rahi hai
