har haal mein raha jo tera aasra mujhe
mayus kar saka na hujum-e-bala mujhe

har naghme ne unhin ki talab ka diya payam
har saz ne unhin ki sunai sada mujhe

har baat mein unhin ki khushi ka raha khayal
har kaam se gharaz hai unhin ki raza mujhe

rahta hun gharq un ke tasawwur mein roz o shab
masti ka pad gaya hai kuchh aisa maza mujhe

rakhiye na mujh pe tark-e-mohabbat ki tohmaten
jis ka khayal tak bhi nahin hai rawa mujhe

kafi hai un ke pa-e-hina-basta ka khayal
hath aai khub soz-e-jigar ki dawa mujhe

kya kahte ho ki aur laga lo kisi se dil
tum sa nazar bhi aae koi dusra mujhe

begana-e-adab kiye deti hai kya karun
us mahw-e-naz ki nigah-e-ashna mujhe

us be-nishan ke milne ki 'hasrat' hui ummid
aab-e-baqa se badh ke hai zahr-e-fana mujhe
