darwesh qaid-e-gham mein dil-e-zar ho gaya
aazad ho gaya jo giraftar ho gaya

yusuf bhi lakh jaan se kharidar ho gaya
tu ghar mein ghul tera sar-e-bazar ho gaya

rakhna tariq-e-ishq mein dala jo hijr ne
nasur dil ka rauzan-e-diwar ho gaya

qatil ne qatl bhi jo subuk jaan kar kiya
lasha ba-rang-e-ruh subuk-bar ho gaya

ugla jo zahr afi-e-gesu-e-yar ne
har mu-e-mar-e-zulf-e-siyah mar ho gaya

soya hain wasl-e-shauq mein jaga wo naz se
main be-khabar hua wo khabar-dar ho gaya

bhaga gaya na lash pe ghash kha ke gir pada
qatil ye mere khun mein giraftar ho gaya

ishq-e-sanam gale ka mere haar ho gaya
gardan ka tar rishta-e-zunnar ho gaya

paigham-e-wasl hi mein khafa yar ho gaya
iqrar ho gaya na kuchh inkar ho gaya

sham-o-sahar chamakne jo dagh-e-jigar laga
khurshid-e-roz-o-sham-e-shab-tar ho gaya

kar-e-rah-e-khuda na hua maut aa gai
ghaflat se banda dida-e-bedar ho gaya

qatil jo gul khilane laga shakh-e-tegh se
maqtal bhi dam mein takhta-e-gulzar ho gaya

khodi jo nahr kohkan-e-jeb-e-chaak ne
sau ja se tukde daman-e-kohsar ho gaya

yaad-e-butan se kaba-e-dil but-kada hua
tar-e-nafas bhi rishta-e-zunnar ho gaya

roya tulu-e-mehr-e-tan-e-ghaur par jo 'arsh'
aab-e-rawan se jama-e-zartar ho gaya
