bolega kaun aashiq-e-nadar ki taraf
sara zamana aaj to hai yar ki taraf

jin aankh se liya tha dil ab wo rahi na aankh
hairat se dekhta hun rukh-e-yar ki taraf

darban kabhi jo roke wo nazuk mizaj hain
munh kar ke soen hum na dar-e-yar ki taraf

haare hue ho boson ka kar lo abhi hisab
fazil hai kuchh hamara hi sarkar ki taraf

baitha hai kab se muntazir yan par nigah-e-mehr
dekh aankh utha ke talib-e-didar ki taraf

padti hai jabki abru-e-qatil pe meri aankh
rah rah ke dekhta hai wo talwar ki taraf

dagh-e-riya sharab se dhone ke waste
zahid chala hai khana-e-khummar ki taraf

bulbul ne ki bahaar mein kis yas se ek aah
chaak-e-qafas se dekh ke gulzar ki taraf

padhta hun fatiha main su-e-qabr-e-kohkan
hota hai jab guzar kabhi kohsar ki taraf

yun dil pe mere padti hai aankh us ki jis tarah
jallad dekhta hai gunahgar ki taraf

karta hai shauq-e-dil ke ewaz mol husn ka
dallal bolta hai kharidar ki taraf

aaina san hun aamad-e-dilbar ka hairati
rukh su-e-dar hai pusht hai diwar ki taraf

phulon mein ye kahan khalish-e-khar ka maza
jaana junun na dasht se gulzar ki taraf

barbaad kar na khak meri ai hawa-e-shauq
le chal uda ke kucha-e-dil-dar ki taraf

kaun ab kare hamari taraf-dari ai 'qalaq'
dil tak hai apna apne dil-azar ki taraf
