ishq ki mearaj un ki thokaren khane mein hai
kucha-e-jaanan ki musht-e-khak ban jaane mein hai

jama-e-hasti nazar ke tane aur bane mein hai
dekh lo kitni haqiqat mere afsane mein hai

wusat-e-kaunain bakhshi arsh ka rutba diya
kaisi gunjaish ilahi dil ke paimane mein hai

mah-rukhon ki toliyan aati rahin jati rahin
ek aalam hu ka mere dil ke virane mein hai

rakh ke jis ko shaikh ne pi thi kabhi nam-e-khuda
bais-e-barkat wahi dastar mai-khane mein hai

saya-e-diwar ki surat main dhal jata wahin
do ghadi umr us gali se aane aur jaane mein hai

naz farmae shabab ai nayyar-e-taban-e-husn
tar chandi ka teri kanghi ke dandane mein hai

apni si chal kar na hogi khatm bazi-e-hayat
ai bisat-e-zindagi kah mat kis khane mein hai
