hasrat-e-lazzat-e-didar liye phirti hai
dar-ba-dar kucha-o-bazar liye phirti hai

fakhr se baad-e-saba sahn-e-chaman mein ai dost
kuchh teri shokhi-e-raftar liye phirti hai

jaan-o-dil hosh-o-khirad aur mataa-e-iman
kya kuchh ek nargis-e-bimar liye phirti hai

bulbul-e-naghma-sara ko bhi mile bar ki wo
nazr ko shokhi-e-guftar liye phirti hai

teri aawaz ki lai naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa ki kashish
qaid mein naghma o gulzar liye phirti hai

ai jafa-kesh teri kam-nigahi ke sadqe
kitne ruswa sar-e-bazar liye phirti hai

in dinon ju-e-chaman aks-e-hujum-e-gul se
kuchh hadis-e-lab-o-rukhsar liye phirti hai

dosto ko teri begana-washi ai zalim
kis qadar jaan se bezar liye phirti hai

aaj-kal un ki nigahen jo phiri hain 'naqwi'
har nazar hath mein talwar liye phirti hai
