haram ka aaina barson se dhundla bhi hai hairan bhi
ek afsun-e-barahman hai ki paida bhi hai pinhan bhi

na ja ai nakhuda dariya ki aahista-khirami par
isi dariya mein khwabida hai mauj-e-tund jaulan bhi

kamal-e-jaan-nisari ho gai hai khak parwana
use iksir bhi kahte hain aur khak-e-pareshan bhi

wida-e-shab bhi hai aur shama par ek bankpan bhi hai
hadis-e-shauq bhi hai qissa-e-umr-e-gurezan bhi

na aai yaad teri ye bhi mausam ka taghayyur tha
ye kusht-e-shauq thi parwarda-ha-e-baad-o-baran bhi

ye duniya hai to kya ai ham-nafas tafsir-e-gham kije
wahi aadab-e-mahfil bhi wahi aadab-e-zindan bhi

shua-e-mehr hai ya iltizam-e-zakhm-o-marham hai
ye dagh-e-lala bhi hai shola-e-lal-e-badakhshan bhi
