ho na kuchh aur is aaghaz ka anjam kahin
saqiya lab se laga de tu lab-e-jam kahin

wo dil-aram jo pahlu mein nahin hai apne
dil-e-betab ko aata nahin aaram kahin

sadma-ha-e-shab-e-hijran se gira jata hun
ai tamanna-e-shab-e-wasl mujhe tham kahin

sham se hoti hain dil par jo balaen nazil
khol baithe na hun wo zulf-e-siyah-fam kahin

le to lun bosa-e-rukh us ka ye dar hai 'tanwir'
ho na jae wo khafa shokh-e-gul-andaz kahin
