dard jitne hain wahi bais-e-darman honge
chaaragar tere na sharminda-e-ehsan honge

dekhna gesu-e-jaanan bhi pareshan honge
mausam-e-gul mein jo hum chaak-gareban honge

yun tere ishq mein hum be-sar-o-saman honge
apni hasti ke tasawwur se gurezan honge

dastan ghair ki rangin banane wale
dekhna mere fasane ke bhi unwan honge

na rahega rah-e-ulfat mein khudi ka ehsas
talab-e-husn mein jab be-sar-o-saman honge

hasrat-o-yas ke mare hain sabhi to ghunche
baghban ab na chaman mein gul-e-khandan honge

yahi ghamze yahi wade yahi andaz-e-wafa
yahi ek roz meri maut ke saman honge

aaj hanste hain jo diwangi-e-dil pe meri
ek din khud bhi wo angusht-ba-dandan honge

raat jo bazm-e-kharabaat mein madhosh hue
mohtasib hum ko yaqin hai wo musalman honge

shauq-e-takmil-e-junun mujh ko liye jata hai
honge ab zer-e-qadam jitne bayaban honge

phir wahi wahshat-e-dil josh mein aai 'aslam'
phir mere munis-o-gham-khwar pareshan honge
