aashiq hai jo tumhaare rukh-e-surkh-rang ka
rahta hai us ko nashsha sharab-e-farang ka

kahte hain log dekh tere rukh pe khal ko
kya hukm rome mein hai sipahdar zang ka

ai rashk-e-hur wusat-e-jannat mein bhi mujhe
tujh bin hai be-guman yaqin gor-e-tang ka

jab se patang hun main tere shama-ru ka yar
malum tha na tujh ko udana patang ka

khauf-e-khuda na hota to rakhta main ai sanam
arsh-e-azim nam tumhaare palang ka

ai sabz-rang mast-e-mai-e-ishq-o-husn to
afyun ko puchhte nahin kya zikr bhang ka

khal-e-rukh-e-nigar hain chehre khayal mein
bini dikhai de hai donali tufang ka

matam mera hai yar siwa hum ko bazm-e-nur
saut-e-buka se kam nahin aawaz chang ka

aatish ka sher padhta hun aksar ba-hasb-e-haal
dil said hai wo bahr-e-sukhan ke nahang ka

wo chashm ghat mein dil-e-pur-dagh ke nahin
aahu ko hai irada shikar-e-palang ka

namus ka to fikr hai 'matam' abas yahan
ye ishq khasm nam ka dushman hai nang ka
