jab majma-e-khuban hota hai diwane bahut ho jate hain
jab shama-e-tajalli raushan ho parwane bahut ho jate hain

parwane tut ke girte hain parwane bahut ho jate hain
jab chand gahan se khulta hai diwane bahut ho jate hain

kahte hue main kuchh darta hun rudad-e-mohabbat ko apni
duniya-e-mohabbat mein aise afsane bahut ho jate hain

kyon husn pe wo maghrur na hon is husn-e-jawani mein apni
diwanon ki parwa kaun kare diwane bahut ho jate hain

har samt ghata chha jati hai har shai se barasti hai masti
jab abr-e-karam chha jata hai mastane bahut ho jate hain

mai-kash ke liye shisha na sahi saghar na sahi mina na sahi
pine ka irada jab kar le paimane bahut ho jate hain

aaraish-e-mahfil ho ki na ho saman-e-tarab kuchh ho ki na ho
jab sham-e-mohabbat jalti hai parwane bahut ho jate hain

jab kali ghataen chhati hain aur jam ko gardish hoti hai
pine ke liye maikhane mein mastane bahut ho jate hain

ai josh-e-junun wo haal bata wo dekh ke wahshi khud hi kahen
kahne ke liye to ulfat mein diwane bahut ho jate hain

wo pahlu mein jis dam hote hain ek be-khudi tari hoti hai
kya haal kahen is haal se hum begane bahut ho jate hain

hum is ki haqiqat ko ab tak aasan samajhte the lekin
ai 'raaz' ye raaz-e-husn hai kya diwane bahut ho jate hain
