be-zabanon ko bhi goyai sikhana chahiye
kalima angusht-e-shahadat ko padhana chahiye

khal rukhsar-e-munawwar ka dikhana chahiye
chand mein ai mehr-wash dhabba lagana chahiye

tel meri aankh ke til ka lagana chahiye
gesuon mein panja-e-mizhgan ka shana chahiye

bahr-e-zinat daman-e-shamshir mein o jang-ju
meri gardan ka tujhe pattha lagana chahiye

aaj-kal mahw-e-safa-e-ariz-e-dil-dar hun
mere rahne ko ab aaine ka khana chahiye

ghat par talwar ke nahlaiyo mayyat meri
kushta-e-abru hun main kya ghusl-khana chahiye

ai pari hai kis qadar adiyal mera shab-dez-e-fikr
choti ke mazmun ka us ko taziyana chahiye

tair-e-rang-e-hina ka murgh-e-jaan hota jalis
ab nagine ke shajar par aashiyana chahiye

khat mein likkhi hai haqiqat dasht-gardi ki agar
nama-bar jangali kabutar ko banana chahiye

josh-e-wahshat kah raha hai nikhat-e-gul ki tarah
aaj to diwar-e-gulshan phand jaana chahiye

wasf-e-dandan mein dur-e-mazmun ki hai hum ko talash
bahr-e-fikrat mein dila ghota lagana chahiye

chin-e-gesu se dikha do khal-e-ariz ki bahaar
mere murgh-e-ruh ko ye dam dana chahiye

is tamanna par hua hun khak main o jang-ju
meri mitti ke tujhe meindhe ladana chahiye

aariz-e-taban ke qul par bahr-e-daf-e-chashm-e-bad
khal-e-rukhsar-e-pari ka kala dana chahiye

panja-e-gulgun ke o gul hum hue hain andalib
panj-shakhe par hamara aashiyana chahiye

chal nahin sakta hamara tausan-e-umr-e-rawan
badh ke dori ka qatil taziyana chahiye

baad muddat zinat-e-pahlu hua hai wo pari
aaj to ai dil tujhe baghlen bajaana chahiye

hun main ai jarrah zakhmi tegh-e-naz-e-yar ka
tanke bhi gardan ke dori se lagana chahiye

atlas-e-gardun se atlas hai fuzun ai mah-ru
kahkashan ka tere shimle mein batana chahiye

nashsha hain ek bahr-e-khubi ke hamari qabr par
chadar-e-ab-e-rawan ka shamiyana chahiye

midhat-e-saqi-e-kausar tujh ko likhni hai 'qalaq'
pahle aab-e-hauz-e-kausar se nahana chahiye
