ahl-e-gulshan rahzan ko rahbar kahne lage
tirgi itni badhi shab ko sahar kahne lage

ibtida ye thi dar-o-diwar se aata tha khauf
intiha ye hai ki hum sahra ko ghar kahne lage

tu bhi kah de mujh ko diwana ki diwana mujhe
ab to tere shahr ke diwar-o-dar kahne lage

ehtiyat ai zabt-e-gham aisa na ho un ke huzur
hum chhupaen haal-e-dil aur chashm-e-tar kahne lage

hae tauhin-e-junun 'nashtar' ki arbab-e-junun
khushk kante hain jinhen gul-ha-e-tar kahne lage
