ai aarzu-e-qatl zara dil ko thamna
mushkil pada mera mere qatil ko thamna

tasir-e-be-qarari-e-nakaam aafrin
hai kaam un se shokh-e-shamail ko thamna

dekhe hai chandni wo zamin par na gir pade
ai charkh apne tu mah-e-kaamil ko thamna

muztar hun kis ka tarz-e-sukhan se samajh gaya
ab zikr kya hai sama-e-aqil ko thamna

ho sarsar-e-fughan se na kyunkar wo muztarib
mushkil hua hai parda-e-mahmil ko thamna

sikhe hain mujh se nala-e-nai aasman-shikan
sayyaad ab qafas mein anadil ko thamna

ye zulf kham-ba-kham na ho kya tab-e-ghair hai
tere junun-zade ki salasil ko thamna

ai hamdam aah talkhi-e-hijran se dam nahin
girta hai dekh jam-e-halahil ko thamna

simab-war mar gae zabt-e-qalaq se hum
kya qahr hai tabiat-e-mail ko thamna

aaghosh-e-gor ho gai aakhir lahuluhan
aasan nahin hai aap ke bismil ko thamna

sine pe hath dharte hi kuchh dam pe ban gai
lo jaan ka azab hua dil ko thamna

baqi hai shauq-e-chaak-e-gareban abhi mujhe
bas ai rafugar apni anamil ko thamna

mat mangiyo aman buton se ki hai haram
'momin' zaban-e-behuda sail ko thamna
