churane ko chura laya main jalwe ru-e-raushan se
magar ab bijliyan lipti hui hain dil ke daman se

tanawwo kuchh to ho ai bulbul-e-kam-zauq matam kya
agar tamir-e-sahra ho gai takhrib gulshan se

mujhe kuchh tajrabe har rang ke jholi mein rakh chalna
musafir hun gharaz kya hai mujhe sahra o gulshan se

mujhe har karwan se chhutna is bad-gumani mein
ki shayad rahbar ko rabt-e-pinhani ho rahzan se

mazaq-e-jazb-e-baatin gum hai ab tazin-e-zahir mein
ye tifl-e-dasht-e-aiman ghat gaya tahzib-e-gulshan se
