ai dost judai ka ab koi mudawa de
ya aatish-e-hijran ko kuchh aur bhi bhadka de

ai bahr-e-sakha aakhir kab tak ye ghalat-bakhshi
sahra ko mile qatra aur zarre ko dariya de

wo ghuncha-dahan bole kuchh munh se ki mat bole
ai baad-e-saba mera paigham to pahuncha de

angur ka ras pi kar taskin nahin hoti
tapte hue honton se tapti hui sahba de

aaghaz-e-mohabbat kya tamhid-e-kharabi hai
ai tark-e-jafa-pesha han kuchh to ishaara de

nakaam-e-tamanna se tu kaam ki baaten kar
ai husn-e-bahana-ju mat kal ka bhulawa de

hum ishq ke maron ke andaz nirale hain
dekho to bahut uljhe samjho to bahut sade

us wada-e-farda ka kya khak yaqin aae
har subh shab-e-gham ko jo aur badhawa de

'naqwi' jise khud apni nazron pe na ho qabu
gustakh-nigahi ki wo tujh ko saza kya de
