bulbul gulon se dekh ke tujh ko bigad gaya
qumri ka tauq sarw ki gardan mein pad gaya

chin-bar-jabin na ai but-e-chin rah ghurur se
taswir ka hai aib jo chehra bigad gaya

aai to hai pasand use chaal yar ki
sun lijo panw kabk-e-dari ka ukhad gaya

pichhe hata na kucha-e-qatil se apna panw
sar se tadap ke chaar qadam aage dhad gaya

khinchi jo meri tarah se qumri ne aah-e-sard
jade ke mare sarw chaman mein akad gaya

shirin ke shefta hue parwez-o-kohkan
shaer hun main ye kahta hun mazmun lad gaya

allah-re shauq apni jabin ko khabar nahin
us but ke aastane ka patthar ragad gaya

darman se aur dard hamara hua do-chand
marham se dagh sine mein nasur pad gaya

guldasta ban ke raunaq-e-bazm-e-shahan hua
kuda jo us faqir ke takiye se jhad gaya

nikla na jism se dil-e-nalan sharik-e-ruh
manzil mein rang naqa se apne bichhad gaya

pahuncha majaz se jo haqiqat ki kunah ko
ye jaan le ki raste mein pher pad gaya

furqat ki shab mein zist ne apni wafa na ki
qabl-e-sahar charagh hamara na badh gaya

pata hun shauq-e-wasl mein ahbab ki kami
husn-o-jamal-e-yar mein kuchh farq pad gaya

lashon ko aashiqon ke na uttho gali se yar
basne ka phir ye ganw nahin jab ujad gaya

dekha tujhe jo khun-e-shahidan se surkh-posh
turk-e-falak zamin mein khajalat se gad gaya

barson ki rah aa ke azizan nikal gae
afsos karwan se main apne bichhad gaya

aaya jo sharh-e-lal-e-lab-e-yar ka khayal
jhanda qalam ka apne badakhshan mein gad gaya

main nai liya baghal mein pari-ru visal ko
dew-e-firaq kashti mein mujh se bichhad gaya

'atish' na puchh haal tu mujh dard-mand ka
sine mein dagh dagh mein nasur pad gaya
