dil hai to magar dil mein wo jazbaat nahin ab
ek saz hai jo hamil-e-naghmat nahin ab

wo silsila-e-harf-o-hikayat nahin ab
milte hain magar lutf-e-mulaqat nahin ab

dar-parda ishaaraat-o-kinayat nahin ab
yani nazar-afroz hijabaat nahin ab

milne ko to milti hain nigahon se nigahen
wo lutf-e-sawalat-o-jawabaat nahin ab

ab sham-o-sahar mein nahin be-tabi-e-fitrat
aashob-e-tamanna liye din-raat nahin ab

sahba-e-tarab kaun piye kaun pilae
wo rind wo saqi wo kharabaat nahin ab

sab uth gae khush-rang hijabaat nazar se
duniya meri nazron mein tilismat nahin ab
