ab kyun harim-e-naz mein sarmastiyan nahin
hum wo nahin ki aap mein wo shokhiyan nahin

dil hi nahin jo soz-e-junun se tapan nahin
kya zindagi jo waqf-e-gham-e-jawedan nahin

har-waqt ab to jaib-o-gareban hain chaak chaak
ehsas ehtimam-e-bahaar-o-khizan nahin

ajza-e-hast-o-bud mohabbat mein kho gae
ek wahm hai so us ka bhi koi guman nahin

kaunain mere panja-e-wahshat ki zad mein hain
mere junun ki qaid makan la-makan nahin

go aarzu-e-jurat-e-rindana hai magar
hasil ba-qadr zauq ma-e-arghawan nahin

main paemal-e-wada-e-farda zarur hun
lekin fareb-khurda-e-naz-e-butan nahin

ifsha-e-raaz-e-ishq ka azm-e-buland hai
'mazhar' ab aur taqat-e-zabt-e-fughan nahin
