diya hai dil tumhein apna samajh kar
amanat hai ise rakhna samajh kar

chadhai tegh-e-abru kya samajh kar
hum aae qatl ki ima samajh kar

na bal khae kahin dast-e-nazakat
uthaiye zara parda samajh kar

sharab-e-shauq se saqi-e-madhosh
hamare zakhm ko bharna samajh kar

mujhe mehrab-e-abru bas hai teri
karun sajda tujhe kaba samajh kar

nahin matlab hamein dair-o-haram se
jahan jate hain ghar tera samajh kar

chaman mein chahchaha ab shakh-e-gul par
tu karna bulbul-e-shaida samajh kar

har ek kuche mein mere waste tifl
liye patthar hain diwana samajh kar

mah-e-gardun pe shab ko chandni mein
nazar karta hun rukh tera samajh kar

gale par qatil-e-be-rahm mere
chalaya tu ne 'khanjar' kya samajh kar
