duniya mein be-hijab meri zat bhi to ho
ai ishq teri koi karamat bhi to ho

kuchh zer-e-ghaur surat-e-haalat bhi to ho
sarkar ehtiram-e-riwayat bhi to ho

tarikiyon ki khatm kabhi raat bhi to ho
ai kirdgar subh-e-mukafat bhi to ho

tu jaanta hai phir bhi hai iqrar-e-masiyat
sharminda-e-wajud meri zat bhi to ho

ye kya ki ahl-e-zohd hain aur bargah-e-naz
mahfil mein koi rind-e-kharabaat bhi to ho

mansur ke fasane ka kya zikr bar-bar
ye aashiqi mein koi nai baat bhi to ho

ab jalwa-gah dil dil ko bana le baja-e-tur
thodi bahut talafi-e-mafat bhi to ho

ye be-rukhi ye qahr ye tewar ye barhami
rudad-e-gham mein aisi koi baat bhi to ho

tu sham hi se fikr-e-sahar mein nidhaal hai
ai bad-nasib pahle basar raat bhi to ho

fitrat ne de ke garmi-e-dil chaal ye chali
insan ki ana ko kahin mat bhi to ho

rudad-e-gham jafa-e-falak dastan-e-hijr
sab kuchh kahenge un se mulaqat bhi to ho
