chaar din hai ye jawani na bahut josh mein aa
ai but-e-mast-e-mai-husn zara hosh mein aa

dil ye kahta hai jo wo sham-e-ezar aa nikle
ban ke fanus pukarun mere aaghosh mein aa

qadam-e-yar ka aawaza har ek gul par hai
amn chahe jo khizan se meri pa-posh mein aa

mere sheron ke jo mushtaq hain farmate hain
dur-e-mazmun sadaf-e-lab se nikal gosh mein aa

be-qarar aise sitare durr-e-ghaltan ho jaen
aap jhamki se jo farmaen naya gosh mein aa

pir hun bojh mohabbat ka uthaun kyunkar
phir jawani ko pukaron ki baru dosh mein aa

basar-e-pir-e-mughan ruh tu hi hi ai ruh
jald shishe se nikal jism-e-qadh-e-nosh mein aa

baith kar yar ke pahlu mein jo uthta hun kabhi
pa-e-khwabida ye kahta hai mujhe hosh mein aa

roz-e-bad ek na ek din tujhe nangiya lega
ai zari-posh hum ahbab-e-namad-posh mein aa

dagh ho jaega ye taj zari ka ai shama
ji jalane ko na khuban-e-zari-posh mein aa

neamat-e-ghaib se kahti hai muhawwis ki hawa
ud ke jauhar ki tarah deg se sar-posh mein aa

dagh hain ek ke par kale bhadak uthenge
dekh o fasl-e-bahaari na bahut josh mein aa

naql-e-mahfil nazar aata nahin koi hum mein
shaikh masjid se nikal bazm-e-nai-o-nosh mein aa

wasl mein fasl na baqi rahe ai jaan-e-jahan
jaise pahlu mein hai dil yun mere aaghosh mein aa

hath aaega muqarrar wo ghazal-e-wahashi
'bahr' charti hai kahan aql zara hosh mein aa
