apni farhat ke din ai yar chale aate hain
kaifiyat par gul-e-rukhsar chale aate hain

pad gai kya nigah-e-mast tere saqi ki
ladkhadate hue mai-khwar chale aate hain

yaad kin nashsha mein dubi hui aankhen kis ki
ghash tujhe ai dil-e-bimar chale aate hain

rah mein sahib-e-iksir khade hain mushtaq
khaksaran-e-dar-e-yar chale aate hain

bagh mein phul hanse dete hain bedardi se
nala-e-murgh-e-giraftar chale aate hain

dekh kar abru-e-khamdar phire yun aashiq
ghul hai khae hue talwar chale aate hain

jis tarah narghe mein chalte hain ghazal-e-sahra
yun teri chashm ke bimar chale aate hain

hun wo be-khud ki ye hai nala-e-sozan pe guman
shoala-e-atish-e-rukhsar chale aate hain

chahiye shor-e-qayamat pae-tazim utthe
aap ke aashiq-e-raftar chale aate hain

shor sunte hain jo hum chaak-garebanon ka
band khole sar-e-bazar chale aate hain

har taraf hashr mein jhankar hai zanjiron ki
un ki zulfon ke giraftar chale aate hain

chal gai tegh-e-nigah aaj 'tashshuq' pe zarur
log us kucha se khun-bar chale aate hain
