ishq mein gul ke jo nalan bulbul-e-ghamnak hai
gul bhi us ke gham mein dekho kiya gareban-chaak hai

dagh-bar-dagh ashk-bar-ashk apni chashm o dil mein hain
kya bala gul-khez ai yaro ye musht-e-khak hai

ai khizar jaun kahan main kucha-e-mai-khana chhod
khush-dili ka maulid o mansha ye khak-e-pak hai

gharq-sar-ta-pa hun bahr-e-be-karan-e-khun mein main
aashna puchhe hai to ye chashm kyun namnak hai

sarw ki nisbat se us qadd-e-bala baala ko kya
khushk chob-e-pa bigul ye wo qad-e-chaalak hai

hae kin aankhon se dekhun us rukh-e-raushan pe khat
chashma-e-khurshid mein ye kya khas-o-khashak hai

kafir o momin ko riqqat gham mein hai 'hasrat' ke hae
kuchh khuda ka dar bhi tujh ko ai but-e-bebak hai
