aah kab lab par nahin hai dagh kab dil mein nahin
kaun si shab hai ki garmi apni mahfil mein nahin

bazm ki kasrat se andesha mere dil mein nahin
dil mein us ki hai jagah mere jo mahfil mein nahin

panja-e-mizhgan-e-tar ne ye udain dhajjiyan
tar baqi ek bhi daman-e-sahil mein nahin

khun-e-nahaq ka hamare dagh mitne ka nahin
tegh mein hoga agar daman-e-qatil mein nahin

parda-dar chehra-e-yusuf nahin hai har naqab
husn-e-laila jalwa-gar har ek mahfil mein nahin

najd ka sahra ajab sahra-e-wahshat-khez hai
qais kya laila ko bhi aaram manzil mein nahin

jis taraf ji chahega mera nikal jaunga main
saikadon darwaze hain halqe salasil mein nahin

had se bahar panw jo rakhta hai hota hai kharab
ghar mein jo rahat musafir ko hai manzil mein nahin

dubte jate hain kyunkar log hairat hai mujhe
qadd-e-adam aab bahr-e-tegh-e-qatil mein nahin

ho gaya dahshat se aisa bismilon ka khun khushk
ek bhi dhabba lahu ka tegh-e-qatil mein nahin
