charagh-e-dil jalaya kis liye hai sham se pahle
khushi achchhi nahin hai ishq mein anjam se pahle

guzarna to shab-e-furqat ka ya-rab ghair-mumkin hai
tadapna dil ka kahta hai numud-e-sham se pahle

hudud-e-mahfil-e-ishrat mein rakkhenge qadam ek din
zara manus to ho len gham-e-alam se pahle

mujhe saqi se ulfat hai nahin saghar ka shaidai
utha jata hun khud mahfil se daur-e-jam se pahle

dhala din aur mere dil ki badhin bechainiyan 'paikar'
jigar ko tham leta hun main dard-e-sham se pahle
