ai dost mujhe soz-e-nihan mar na dale
ye nala-e-shab aah-o-fughan mar na dale

ek umr se paiwast rag-e-jaan hai magar ab
darta hun ki ye tir-e-tapan mar na dale

raij hai zaban-bandi ka dastur chaman mein
bulbul ko kahin zabt-e-fughan mar na dale

khurshid-e-qayamat se siwa soz-e-darun hai
ai shaikh tujhe ishq-e-butan mar na dale

tu khwab hai ehsas hai naghma hai ki gul hai
ye kashmakash-e-wahm-o-guman mar na dale

but-khane mein jata hai bade shauq se lekin
zahid ko kahin husn-e-butan mar na dale

betabi-e-dil ki ye dawa khub hai lekin
pahlu mein ye sharbat ki dukan mar na dale

had se na guzar jae teri tarz-e-taghaful
furqat teri ai jaan-e-jahan mar na dale

baitha hun tere saya-e-gesu mein magar ab
darta hun ki ye rahat-e-jaan mar na dale

ab daulat-e-dil haar ke rota hai 'muzaffar'
muflis ko ye ehsas-e-ziyan mar na dale
