dard-e-dil hi mein nihan hai dard-e-dil ka raaz bhi
saz hi mein mustatar hai saz ki aawaz bhi

ho gain raushan meri aankhen zah-e-nur-e-jamal
didani hai wo aur us ke husn ka eajaz bhi

allah allah wahdat-e-jazbaat-o-kaifiyyat-e-ishq
ek surat mein hua anjam bhi aaghaz bhi

arsa-e-hasti mujhe kyon arsa-e-mahshar na ho
fitna-parwarda bhi aur us ka khiram-e-naz bhi

khud nigah-e-shauq kar deti hai ifsha raaz-e-dil
ishq hai kambakht apna aap hi ghammaz bhi

sunne wale ka zara husn-e-samaat dekhiye
aa gai pardon ke bahar saz ki aawaz bhi

kar chuke gor-e-ghariban ki ziyarat kar chuke
dekh lije ab zara qabr-e-shahid-e-naz bhi

ruh nikle tan se naghme kaif ke gati hui
main dam-e-akhir agar sun lun teri aawaz bhi

dida-e-bedar 'kaukab' faizyab-e-nur hai
uth gae yani nigahon se hijab-e-raaz bhi
