aql ka zarf juda hosh ka paimana juda
husn aur ishq ka donon se hai afsana juda

ishq ka bar-e-amanat kahan kam-maya kahan
din bulbul ka juda mashrab-e-parwana juda

dil mein hai kirmak-e-shab-tab ke bhi aag nihan
lekin is aag se hai sozish-e-parwana juda

kab bure waqt mein hota hai kisi ka koi
shama gul hote hi ho jata hai parwana juda

gulshan-e-dahr mein jab bu-e-wafa anqa ho
kya kare gar na rahe sabza-e-begana juda

ishq-bazon se nahin bul-hawason ko nisbat
un ka mear juda in ka hai paimana juda

tegh-e-qatil ke rahe samne hum sina-sipar
marte marte na hui himmat-e-mardana juda

chashm-e-bina mein hain ye donon jagah manzil-e-yar
na rah-e-kaba juda na rah-e-but-khana juda

zarre zarre mein hai kaunain ke us ka hi zuhur
donon aalam se hai phir jalwa-e-jaanana juda

meri hi aankhon pe ghaflat ka pada tha parda
shahid-e-husn-e-azal mujh se hua tha na juda

zabt-e-ulfat kahin mumkin hai tunak-zarfon se
tabish-e-shama juda sozish-e-parwana juda

nala-e-atish-e-gham aur bhadak uthta hai
shama ke ho jo tasawwur mein bhi parwana juda

hai sukhan mein mere ek jiddat-e-taza 'talib'
mera mazmun juda unwan juda afsana juda
