ham-nashin zid na kar ahwal batane ke liye
gham chhupane ke liye hai ki sunane ke liye

dil mila sina mila jism mila jaan mili
dagh khane ke liye ranj uthane ke liye

dur hi se wo mujhe dekh kar un ka kahna
phir ye hazrat chale aate hain satane ke liye

imtihan ishq-o-hawas ka hai kal us mahfil mein
ruqe ab batte hain jaan-bazon ke aane ke liye

chahiye tha tere ushshaq ko dil do milte
ek tujhe dene ko ek naz uthane ke liye

ahd-e-farhad hua hum se to pahle warna
jate kambakht ka hum hath batane ke liye

yahi behtar hai ki chupka rahun jhagda chuk jae
warna baaten hain bahut baat badhane ke liye

hosh se kyon na ho pyari mujhe ye be-hoshi
aae to lakhlakha-e-zulf sunghane ke liye

kar diya ishq ne har shakhs se bad-zan mujh ko
ab kise bhejun wahan un ko bulane ke liye

ai dil us ko bhi hai dar-parda mohabbat teri
sitam-o-jaur hain ghairon ko dikhane ke liye

hum se aashiq ki mohabbat nahin dekhi jati
us ne ye uzr nikala hai na aane ke liye

chhod kar waz karo baada-faroshi waiz
peshe bahutere hain duniya mein kamane ke liye

faeda aur to kuchh charkh-e-sitamgar se nahin
ye hasinon ko hai bedad sikhane ke liye

ghar se kis be-khudi-e-shauq mein nikla hai 'khayal'
apne ruthe hue dilbar ko manane ke liye
