allah re ye rang ye jalwa shabab ka
jaise khincha ho aankh mein naqsha sharab ka

parde mein kaenat ke maujud har jagah
is par ye ehtimam ye aalam hijab ka

lalcha ke fart-e-shauq mein aansu nikal pade
waiz ne hans ke nam liya jab sharab ka

tab-e-nazara-e-rukh-e-anwar nahin use
suraj ki samt rukh hai gul-e-aftab ka

badhti rahi nigah bahakte rahe qadam
guzra hai is tarah bhi zamana shabab ka

har ashk waqiat-e-hasin ki hai yaadgar
aalam na puchhiye meri chashm-e-pur-ab ka

ai 'aish' jab se baada-e-la-taqnatu mila
baqi raha na dar hamein roz-e-hisab ka
