nawa-e-dil ne karishme dikhae hain kya kya
meri azan ne namazi jagae hain kya kya

jamal-e-yar teri aab-o-tab kya kahiye
nazar nazar pe qadam dagmagae hain kya kya

ada-e-naz ko andaz-e-dilbari samjhe
fareb ahl-e-mohabbat ne khae hain kya kya

zamin zamin na rahi aur falak falak na raha
maqam-o-waqt bhi gardish mein aae hain kya kya

wo teri shokh-nigahi wo teri khanda-labi
dil-e-gharib pe charke lagae hain kya kya

kabhi khulus-e-mohabbat kabhi gurez-o-farar
bana bana ke muqaddar mitae hain kya kya

kabhi to dekh ki meri tabah-haali par
hayat-o-maut ne aansu bahae hain kya kya

hai aaj khun-e-tamanna to kal ummid ki maut
dil-e-hazin ne janaze uthae hain kya kya

nigah-e-'qais' teri dastaras ko man gae
kahan kahan se mazamin churae hain kya kya
