diwana ho ke naz kisi ke uthae kaun
hai dil-lagi zarur magar dil lagae kaun

khaslat jafa-shiar hai un ki jatae kaun
jo aazma liya hai use aazmae kaun

saqi nahin to hosh mein rindon ko lae kaun
jam-o-subu hai samne lekin pilae kaun

mana haram ke sae mein yaksar bahisht hai
bazm-e-butan ko chhod ke jae to jae kaun

ulfat ki aag baithe-bithae laga to li
ab dekhna ye hai ki lagi ko bujhae kaun

khamoshiyan nasib-e-nazar par muhit hain
gham-ashna hun git mohabbat ka gae kaun

hai roz imtihan jahan ke nasib ka
kya jaaniye tumhaari nazar mein samae kaun

ek chashm-e-mai-farosh hai masruf-e-intikhab
aise mein gham-nasib ko khatir mein lae kaun

har yas mein rahe ho mere dil ka aasra
hai dard ka sharik tumhaare siwae kaun

phir taza ho rahe hain gham-e-ishq ke nishan
chhupta nahin ye raaz to us ko chhupae kaun

hikmat zarur hai pas-e-parda ba-fikr-e-'shad'
hota nahin jo samne ho kar khuda-e-kaun
