ishq ke mai-kade mein aa ranj-o-alam ko bhul ja
shisha-e-mai hai samne shiddat-e-gham ko bhul ja

jalwa hai us ka ru-ba-ru jis ki hai tujh ko justuju
mahw-e-jamal-e-yar ho dair-o-haram ko bhul ja

dil mein ye ghaur kar zara kis pe karega tu jafa
hum na karenge ab gila shauq se hum ko bhul ja

baada-parast hai agar jam-e-shikasta ko na dekh
tishna-labi pe naz kar saghar-e-jam ko bhul ja

ishq ki shan hai yahi ishq ki jaan hai yahi
badh ke unhen gale laga zulm-o-sitam ko bhul ja

koi nahin hai jis ko hum apna kahen jahan mein
'shair' isi mein khair hai lutf-o-karam ko bhul ja
