dam le ai kohkan ab tesha-zani khub nahin
jaan-e-shirin ko na kho koh-kani khub nahin

tuk tu hans-bol ye ghuncha-dahani khub nahin
rashk-e-gul itni bhi han kam-sukhani khub nahin

sar pe qumri ko bithaya to hai tu ne par sarw
teri aazad-washi be-kafani khub nahin

qabil-e-chasm-numai hai tu ai tifl-e-sarishk
abtar itna bhi na ho nashudani khub nahin

fasl-e-gul aane de dikhla na abhi se zanjir
ye rawish mauj-e-nasim-e-chamani khub nahin

mana hansne se to karta nahin ai barq-washo
phir shararat se ye chashmak-zadani khub nahin

ho sake tujh se to kar murgh-e-chaman gul ka ilaj
us ko bimari-e-aza-shikani khub nahin

koi dam aur bhi us abru-e-pur-kham ko chhu
asfahani ye abhi tegh bani khub nahin

chashm se us ki na kar daw-e-ham-chashmi dekh
ki khata aisi ghazal-khutani khub nahin

mar khaega wo khayyat ki jis ne tere
band jame ke liye nag-phani khub nahin

munh ko dekh apne tu aur us ke lab-e-lal ko dekh
ru-kashi us se aqiq-e-yamani khub nahin

tark chashm-e-but-e-bad-kesh khayal us ka chhod
murgh-e-dil sahme hai nawak-fagani khub nahin

shakh-e-gul hai ki kamar baad se lachke hai teri
ai miyan itni bhi nazuk-badani khub nahin

main bhi hun baadiya-paima-e-junun ai majnun
is qadar aage mere laf-zani khub nahin

chhalni kanton se hue go mere talwe lekin
dasht-e-wahshat ki abhi khak chhani khub nahin

zahr kha jaunga ai saqi-e-paimana-ba-kaf
baz aa jaane de paiman-shikani khub nahin
