hamein shuur-e-junun hai ki jis chaman mein rahe
nigah ban ke hasinon ki anjuman mein rahe

tu ai bahaar-e-gurezan kisi chaman mein rahe
mere junun ki mahak tere pairahan mein rahe

mujhe nahin kisi uslub-e-shairi ki talash
teri nigah ka jadu mere sukhan mein rahe

na hum qafas mein ruke misl-e-bu-e-gul sayyaad
na hum misal-e-saba halqa-e-rasan mein rahe

khule jo hum to kisi shokh ki nazar mein khule
hue girah to kisi zulf ki shikan mein rahe

sarishk rang na bakhshe to kyun ho bar-e-mizha
lahu hina nahin banta to kyun badan mein rahe

hujum-e-dahr mein badli na hum se waz-e-khiram
giri kulah hum apne hi bankpan mein rahe

ye hukm hai rahe mutthi mein band sail-e-nasim
ye zid hai bahr-e-tapan kuza-e-kuhan mein rahe

zaban hamari na samjha yahan koi 'majruh'
hum ajnabi ki tarah apne hi watan mein rahe
