mariz-e-ishq ki juz-marg duniya mein dawa kyun ho
agar jaan ho aziz apni to jaanan par fida kyun ho

uthe jo aag sine se daba dun us ko ashkon se
shab-e-hijran mein nala se mera lab aashna kyun ho

milo khalwat mein aur do tum mujhe dars-e-shakebai
karam tum mein na ho to dil mera sabr-azma kyun ho

chale jab tak zaban jari ho us par dastan-e-gham
tawanai tere bimar ki sarf-e-dua kyun ho

bhala tu aur ghar aae mere kyun-kar yaqin kar lun
takhayyul kyun na ho mera teri aawaz-e-pa kyun ho

agar bakht-e-rasa ne rahbari ki teri khalwat tak
to phir dast-e-tamanna rehn-e-daman-e-qaba kyun ho

mere khun aur hina mein der se baham raqabat hai
na ho gar rang-e-khun pa mein to phir rang-e-hina kyun ho

qayamat ek din aai hai is mein shak nahin 'shaida'
khada ho bazm se jab wo qayamat phir bapa kyun ho
