ishq hai dariya-e-atish tair kar jaane ka nam
husn hai sehn-e-chaman mein phul barsane ka nam

raat-bhar sham-e-hazin is fikr mein jalti rahi
kyun buland aakhir hai is duniya mein parwane ka na

laila-o-shirin ki kya kuchh kahiye ab is gul ki baat
aaj hai uncha chaman mein jis ke afsane ka nam

tur-e-dil ki khair ho ab tab-e-nazzara kahan
husn ka jalwa tumhaare barq gir jaane ka nam

tu chaman hai aur teri raftar hai mauj-e-nasim
khamushi ghuncha hansi hai phul khil jaane ka nam

kahkashan hai mang teri ghaza-e-rukh chandni
qad zamin par mah-o-anjum ke utar aane ka nam

jab kabhi shanon pe zulf-e-ambarin lahra gai
bas yahi hai nikhat-e-gul ke mahak jaane ka nam
