dar-parda-e-bahaar jo wo naghma-khwan na ho
bulbul se nala gul se tabassum ayan na ho

ghawwas-e-bahr-e-ishq na tufan-e-gham se dar
ye bhi shanawari ka teri imtihan na ho

nakaami-e-khirad se mujhe ab ye khauf hai
sai-e-junun bhi meri kahin raegan na ho

aisa koi maqam na ab tak mila jahan
meri jabin ho aur tera aastan na ho

us be-nishan ka mil nahin sakta kabhi suragh
jab tak koi talash mein khud be-nishan na ho

main bhi mita chuka hun rah-e-ishq mein hayat
mera hi ye ghubar pas-e-karwan na ho

'wahshi' tariq-e-ishq mein ruswaiyan bhi hain
kitna hi dard dil mein ho lab par fughan na ho
