hai abhi mahtab baqi aur baqi hai sharab
aur baqi mere tere darmiyan sadha hisab

dil mein yun bedar hote hain khayalat-e-ghazal
aankhen malte jis tarah utthe koi mast-e-shabab

gesu-e-khamdar mein ashaar-e-tar ki thandaken
aatish-e-rukhsar mein qalb-e-tapan ka iltihab

ek aalam par nahin rahti hain kaifiyyat-e-ishq
gah registan bhi dariya gah dariya bhi sarab

kaun rakh sakta hai is ko sakin-o-jamid ki zist
inqilab-o-inqilab-o-inqilab-o-inqilab

dhundiye kyon istiara aur tashbih-o-misal
husn to wo hai bataen jis ko husn-e-la-jawab

ai 'firaq' uthti hain hairat ki nigahen ba-adab
us ke dil ki khalwaton mein ho raha hun baryab
