dil aisa ishrat-o-rahat ki khwahishon mein jala
tamam umr main be-nam hasraton mein jala

ye kal ki baat hai zehnon mein gunjti hogi
charagh ek hawaon ke raston mein jala

mere khulus ke sae mein kash ji sakta
mera harif jala bhi to sazishon mein jala

fazaon mein jo andhere bikher deta hai
wahi charagh-e-adawat magar dilon mein jala

ye aur baat abhi raushni nahin phaili
koi diya to magar gham ki zulmaton mein jala

wo kaun hain jinhen saya lagi firaq ki aanch
mera badan to hamesha rafaqaton mein jala

yahi nahin ki farozan thi intizar ki aag
charagh-e-dard bhi barsat ki ruton mein jala

na-jaane kha gai kis ki nazar bahaaron ko
ye ek shahr-e-mohabbat tha nafraton mein jala

wafa ki aag mein kundan bana to hairat kya
'siraj' waise bhi ahbab ke dukhon mein jala
