buton ka sath diya but-shikan ka sath diya
fareb-e-ishq ne har husn-e-zan ka sath diya

mere sukut ne kab anjuman ka sath diya
tumhaari chashm-e-sukhan-dar-sukhan ka sath diya

tumhaare gesu-e-pur-kham pe marne walon ne
jab aaya waqt to dar-o-rasan ka sath diya

bahaar aai to mahrum-e-rang-o-bu hain wahi
junun ne daur-e-khizan mein chaman ka sath diya

bujhe jo pichhle pahar teri anjuman ke charagh
to dagh-e-dil ne mere anjuman ka sath diya

chaman mein ek hamin rah gae khizan ke liye
ki bulbulon ne bhi rang-e-chaman ka sath diya

khuda ki shan ki nang-e-watan wo kahlaen
jinhon ne mar ke bhi khak-e-watan ka sath diya

khuda ka shukr ki mayyat to dhak gai apni
ghubar-e-rah ne ek be-kafan ka sath diya

kabhi jo bazm mein us but key baat aa nikli
janab-e-shaikh ne bhi barhaman ka sath diya

wo tarz-e-nau ho ki tarz-e-kuhan 'wafa' hum ne
har ek tarah mazaq-e-sukhan ka sath diya
