az-had sawal-e-wasl pe israr ho chuka
iqrar ab to kijiye inkar ho chuka

wo aarzu-e-dil se khabar-dar ho chuka
tamhid-e-wasl sunte hi hushiyar ho chuka

saqi jo tere jam se sarshaar ho chuka
bas roz-e-hashr tak bhi wo hushiyar ho chuka

ab lan-tarani-o-arini ke wo din kahan
khud faiz-e-ishq-e-yar se main yar ho chuka

tajwiz mein saza ki kalam ab nahin raha
khud mujh se jurm-e-ishq ka izhaar ho chuka

saffak rahm aaya mere dil pe kab tujhe
jab tir gharq ta-lab-e-sufar ho chuka

ab mere haal par na sitamgar rahm kar
ye dil rahin-e-lazzat-e-azar ho chuka

pahunchaya zoaf ne mujhe jab bazm-e-yar tak
barkhast log ho gae darbar ho chuka

is mein qasam khuda ki buto jhut kuchh nahin
main tum se ishq kar ke gunahgar ho chuka

bad-namiyon ka khauf mujhe ab nahin raha
ruswa-e-khalq main sar-e-bazar ho chuka

ab iztirab kyon hai zarurat hai sabr ki
'sabir' jab un ko wasl ka iqrar ho chuka
