dil hai haqiqat-ashna jalwa-gah-e-majaz mein
husn-e-azal hai mustatar ishq ki soz-o-saz mein

dil ko hai naz ishq par rahguzar-e-majaz mein
saikdon jalwe hain nihan husn-e-nazar-nawaz mein

khwahish-e-ilm hai fuzul harf-e-ghalat hai inkishaf
ek tilism-e-raaz hai hasti-e-karsaz mein

aah ye be-khudi-e-ishq aah ye sadgi-e-dil
lutf-o-karam ki hai talash husn-e-jafa-taraaz mein

khak sukun-pazir ho meri hayat-e-mustaar
hashr hi hashr hain nihan teri khiram-e-naz mein

dil mera waqf ho chuka jalwa-e-rang rang ka
nasiya sajda-rez hai kaba-e-khana-saz mein

dekh le is mein hain nihan meri ubudiyat ke raaz
sajde ke jo nishan hain nasiya-e-niyaz mein

teri samajh se hai buland hasti-e-raaz-e-kaenat
aql pe kar na jabr tu koshish-e-imtiyaz mein

go hai sukun bhi ek chiz par wo tadap thi jaan-faza
hae wo soz ab nahin parda-e-dil ke saz mein

ya to ajal ke sath sath aae sahar kafan-badosh
ya koi phir kami na ho meri shab-e-daraaz mein

chhed ke mujh ko ham-nafas mahw-e-tarab hain kis qadar
nala-e-gham hai muztarib parda-e-dil ke saz mein

kashmakash-e-hayat mein ai ajal ikhtisar kar
yas ka rang aa chala koshish-e-jalwa-saz mein

'saqib'-e-mahw-e-be-khudi tujh ko talash hai kahan
sun wo sada-e-dil-fareb apni hi dil ke saz mein
