is dil se mere ishq ke arman ko nikalo
tahrir se auraq-e-pareshan ko nikalo

mumkin hai tahi kar do mujhe har kisi shai se
mumkin ho agar dil se is iman ko nikalo

gar dur talak bab ke imkan nahin hain
diwar mein ek rauzan-e-zindan ko nikalo

jis ko hai bharam aaj bhi paiman-e-wafa ka
sine se mere us dil-e-nadan ko nikalo

patjhad mein bhi har gul pe bahaar aae yaqinan
gulshan se agar mausam-e-hijran ko nikalo

tab ja ke laga paoge dil apna khizan se
pahle to is ummid-e-bahaaran ko nikalo

tanhai chali aae khula jaan ke ek dar
palkon se agar yaad ke darban ko nikalo

sahraon mein phir dur talak saf hai manzar
aankhon se agar ret ke tufan ko nikalo

aashufta-saron par bhi nazar jaegi 'nayab'
gardan se agar sar-ba-gareban ko nikalo
