dilon ka soz tere ru-e-be-naqab ki aanch
tamam garmi-e-mahfil tere shabab ki aanch

sawab-e-khuld-e-barin kya azab-e-dozakh kya
tere khitab ki thandak tere itab ki aanch

harim-e-ishq ke pardon se lau nikalti hai
ye soz-o-saz hai kis naghma-e-rabab ki aanch

lahakte sabze mein abr-e-bahaar ki masti
dahakte phul mein chhalki hui sharab ki aanch

ye kaif-e-husn ye barq-e-nigah kya kahna
laga de aag na us daman-e-sahab ki aanch

chadha ke saghar-e-mai jagmaga uthe chehre
simat ke aa gai sinon mein aaftab ki aanch

panah mang rahi hai hari-bhari duniya
na puchh aah-dil-e-kha-numan-kharab ki aanch

ye agle waqton ke hain khush hain bagh-e-jannat mein
unhen khabar hi nahin kya hai is sawab ki aanch

ye aa gaya hai yahan kaun kafir-e-masum
ki thandi pad gai dozakh ke bhi azab ki aanch

jise samajhte hain sab mauj-e-kausar-o-tasnim
wo aaina bhi hai tapte hue sarab ki aanch

sahar ki taza-dami chadhti dhup ki garmi
teri nigah ki thandak tere shabab ki aanch

ruki ruki si lab-e-shauq par hai arz-e-visal
ki phunk de na tere zauq-e-intikhab ki aanch

yahi hai raunaq-e-garmi yahi hai raunaq-e-bazm
nigah-e-naz tere zauq-e-intikhab ki aanch

ye raat aag laga de kahin na duniya mein
ye chandni ye hawaen ye mahtab ki aanch

shuaen phut ke jaise faza mein gum ho jaen
chhalakte jam mein ye chashmak-e-habab ki aanch

sawar-e-ablaq-e-ayyam mausam-e-gul hai
chaman ke shoale hain ya halqa-e-rikab ki aanch

ye mehr-o-mah bhi udte hue sharare hain
ki arsh tak hai mohabbat ke pech-o-tab ki aanch

samet rakkhe hain ruhul-qudus ne par apne
pahunch rahi hai kahan tak is iztirab ki aanch

'firaq' waqt ke rukh se ulat rahi hai naqab
zamin se ta-ba-falak hai is inqalab ki aanch
