ai dil achchha nahin masruf-e-fughan ho jaana
gham ki tauhin hai ashkon ka rawan ho jaana

dil ki aawaz bhi majruh jahan hoti hai
aise haalat mein khamosh wahan ho jaana

mere aansu jo giren tank lo tum jude mein
dekh le koi to phulon ka guman ho jaana

ahl-e-sahil ko bhi andaza-e-tufan ho jae
qatra-e-ashk zara sail-e-rawan ho jaana

rukhsat-e-mausam-e-gul ke bhi uthao sadme
itna aasan nahin ehsas-e-khizan ho jaana

qaid-e-mausam nahin naghmat-e-ana dil ke liye
koi mausam ho gul-e-tar ki zaban ho jaana

mere jine ka sahaara thin jo nazren kal tak
kya sitam hai unhen nazron ka garan ho jaana

shauq-afza hai ye andaz-e-hijab-e-khuban
dil mein rahte hue aankhon se nihan ho jaana

wo gulistan mein jo aa jaen to mumkin hai 'khayal'
muskuraati hui kaliyon ka jawan ho jaana
