gham nahin naz-e-husn hai husn ke naz uthae ja
ai dil-e-mubtala-e-gham gham mein bhi muskurae ja

husn hai ishq-e-afrin husn pe dil lutae ja
ishq ko dard-e-dil bana dard ko dil banae ja

jalwa-ba-jalwa gar nahin parda-ba-parda aae ja
dil mein mere samae ja ruh mein jagmagae ja

shorish-e-kaenat mein gham ko khushi banae ja
hans mere aansuon mein tu aah mein muskurae ja

taron mein jagmagae ja chand mein muskurae ja
dur se koi naghma-e-ruh-faza sunae ja

zabt ba-qadr-e-zarf hai zarf ba-qadr-e-shauq hai
tu abhi samne na aa shauq abhi badhae ja

bahama tark-e-rasm-o-rah kuchh to ho iltifat bhi
tu mujhe bhul ja magar yaad mujhe tu aae ja

husn se badh ke bad-guman ishq hai apne aap se
main abhi mutmain nahin tu mujhe aazmae ja

sirf jabin-e-shauq ho aur kisi ka aastan
sajde bhi darmiyan na hun sajdon ko bhi mitae ja

bazm-e-nashat-e-kaenat mujh pe hai khanda-zan hanuz
khalwat-e-gham mein tu abhi aur mujhe rulae ja

ab na wo 'bismil' aur na tu ab na wo dil na aarzu
ab to khuda ke waste yaad use na aae ja
