falak ne gar kiya rukhsat mujhe sair-e-bayaban ko
nikala sar se mere jae mu khar-e-mughilan ko

wo zalim bhi to samjhe kah rakha hai hum ne yaran ko
ki goristan se gaden juda hum ahl-e-hijran ko

nahin ye bed-e-majnun gardish-e-gardun-e-gardan ne
banaya hai shajar kya jaaniye kis mu pareshan ko

hue the jaise mar jate par ab to sakht hasrat hai
kiya dushwar nadani se hum ne kar-e-asan ko

kahin nasl aadmi ki uth na jawe is zamane mein
ki moti aab-e-haiwan jaante hain aab-e-insan ko

tujhe gir chashm-e-ibrat hai to aandhi aur bagule se
tamasha kar ghubar-afshani khak-e-azizan ko

libas-e-mard-e-maidan jauhar-e-zati kifayat hai
nahin piroe poshish marke mein tegh-e-uryan ko

hawa-e-abr mein garmi nahin jo tu na ho saqi
dam afsurda kar de munjamid rashhat-e-baran ko

jalen hain kab ki mizhgan aansuon ki garm-joshi se
us aab-e-chashm ki joshish ne aatish di nistan ko

wo kafir ishq ka hai dil ki meri bhi rag-e-jaan tak
sada zunnar hi tasbih hai us na-musalman ko

ghurur-e-naz se aankhen na kholin is jafa-ju ne
mila panw tale jab tak na chashm-e-sad-ghazalan ko

na si chashm-e-tama khwan-e-falak par kham-dasti se
ki jam-e-khun de hai har sahar ye apne mehman ko

zi-bas sirf junun mere hua aahan ajab mat kar
na ho gar halqa-e-dar khana-e-zanjir-sazan ko

bane na-waqif-e-shadi agar hum bazm-e-ishrat mein
dahan-e-zakhm-e-dil samjhe jo dekha ru-e-khandan ko

nahin reg-e-rawan majnun ke dil ki be-qarari ne
kiya hai muztarib har zarra-e-gard-e-bayaban ko

kisi ke waste ruswa-e-alam ho pe ji mein rakh
ki mara jae jo zahir kare us raaz-e-pinhan ko

giri padti hai bijli hi tabhi se khirman gul par
tak ek hans mere rone par ki dekhe tere dandan ko

ghurur-e-naz-e-qatil ko liye ja hai koi puchhe
chala to saunp kar kis ke tain us said-e-be-jaan ko

wo tukhm-e-sokhta the hum ki sar-sabzi na ki hasil
milaya khak mein dana namat hasrat se dahqan ko

hua hun ghuncha-e-pazhmurda aakhir fasl ka tujh bin
na de barbaad hasrat kusta-e-sar-dar-gareban ko

gham-o-andoh-o-be-tabi alam be-taqati hirman
kahun ai ham-nashin ta-chand gham-ha-e-firawan ko

gul-o-sarw-o-saman gir jaenge mat sair-e-gulshan kar
mila mat khak mein un bagh ke raana jawanan ko

bahut roe jo hum ye aastin rakh munh pe ai bijli
na chashm-e-kam se dekh us yaadgar-e-chashm-e-giryan ko

mizaj us waqt hai ek matla-e-taza pe kuchh mail
ki be-fikr sukhan banti nahin hargiz sukhan-dan ko
