but-khana sang-e-rah hai jis ku-e-yar ka
kaba bhi ek nishan hai usi rahguzar ka

adna sa aks hai rukh-e-rangin-e-yar ka
aalam bana hua hai muraqqa bahaar ka

mujh ko to shauq-e-sajda mein ye bhi nahin khabar
sang-e-dar-e-raqib hai ya qasr yar ka

rahmat bhi tere sath hai bakhshish bhi tere sath
phir khauf kya hai pursish-e-roz-e-shumar ka

ho jaen ek kafir-o-din-dar kis tarah
jalwa alag alag hai rukh-o-zulf-e-yar ka

zahid tamam taqwa-o-tamat chhod de
qail agar hai rahmat-e-parwardigar ka

taswir bhi na us ki tasawwur mein khinch saki
adna sa ye kamal hai shokhi-e-yar ka

fiqre ghazab ke likkhe hain khat ke jawab mein
goya qalam se kaam liya zulfiqar ka

kar dun na gharq-e-jam dil-e-be-qarar ko
jhagda chuka hi dun na dil-e-be-qarar ka

shan-e-karam ko us ki gawara nahin kabhi
mayus ho ke lautna umid-war ka

pir-e-mughan sa pir ho 'shaghil' ka mo'taqid
phir zikr-o-shaghl dekh mai-e-khush-gawar ka
