ahl-e-dil kucha-e-asnam tak aa pahunche hain
fasle arsa-e-do-gam tak aa pahunche hain

jo tah-e-khum mein ho baqi wahi de de saqi
baada-kash durd-e-tah-e-jam tak aa pahunche hain

ho chuke ahl-e-yaqin wadi-e-auham mein gum
ahl-e-shak manzil-e-ilham tak aa pahunche hain

jab khudi ka hai ye 'alam to khuda dur nahin
but-shikan mahfil-e-asnam tak aa pahunche hain

phir gai rah se ummid ki chadhti hui dhup
yas ke sae dar-o-baam tak aa pahunche hain

shauq gustakh hai ab parda-kusha-e-asrar
khas jalwe nigah-e-am tak aa pahunche hain

meri qismat ka sitara to na tha itna buland
kis ki khatir wo lab-e-baam tak aa pahunche hain

ham-nashinon ko mubarak karam-e-khas tera
hum bhi ab rasm-o-rah-e-'am tak aa pahunche hain

dekhiye kis ko ye eazaz-e-khususi ho nasib
lab tere manzil-e-dushnam tak aa pahunche hain

kabhi aisa bhi hua hai ki tere diwane
teri dhun mein tere hamnam tak aa pahunche hain

rah par un ko laga laya du'aon ka khulus
subh bhatke the magar sham tak aa pahunche hain

hae wo log jo hon lazzat-e-aghaz mein gum
wae wo log jo anjam tak aa pahunche hain

meri nazren gul-o-gulzar se aage na badhin
tere jalwe sahar-o-sham tak aa pahunche hain
