jab se bandha hai tasawwur us rukh-e-pur-nur ka
sare ghar mein nur phaila hai charagh-e-tur ka

bakht-e-wazhun se jale kyun dil na mujh mahrur ka
marham-e-kafur se munh aa gaya nasur ka

is qadar mushtaq hun zahid khuda ke nur ka
but bhi banwaya kabhi main ne to sang-e-tur ka

tujh ko lae ghar mein jannat ko jalaya rashk se
ham-baghal tujh se hue pahlu dabaya hur ka

gor-e-kafir kis liye hai tira-o-tar is qadar
pad gaya saya magar meri shab-e-dijur ka

husn-e-yusuf aur tere husn mein itna hai farq
chot ye nazdik ki hai war tha wo daur ka

qasr-e-tan bigda kisi ka gorkan ki ban padi
ghar kisi ka gir pada ghar bin gaya mazdur ka

chehra-e-jaanan se sharma kar chhupaya khuld mein
khama-e-taqdir ne khincha jo naqsha hur ka

hajat-e-mushshata kya rukhsar-e-raushan ke liye
dekh lo gul katta hai kaun sham-e-tur ka

zulf-o-ru-e-yar se nairang-e-qudrat hai ayan
mahr ke panje mein hai daman shab-e-dijur ka

khaksari kar jo ho manzur aankhon mein jagah
khak ho kar surma bin jata hai patthar taur ka

ghafilon ke kan kab khulte hain san kar shor-e-hashr
sone walon ko jaga sakta nahin ghul dur ka

puchh lena sab watan ka haal ai ahl-e-adam
baith lene do zara aata hun uttha daur ka

ijz karte hain adu-e-jaan se bhi khasan-e-haq
jhuk gaya sar aage pa-e-dar par mansur ka

maut kya aai tap-e-furqat se sehat ho gai
dam nikalne se badan thanda hua ranjur ka

jate hain mai-khana-e-alam se hum su-e-adam
kah do az-khud-raftagi se hai irada dur ka

muziyon ko hadson se dahr ke kya khauf hai
barish-e-baran se ghar girta nahin zambur ka

chashm-e-saghar be-sabab har dam lahu roti nahin
mughbachon se saqiya dil phat gaya angur ka

jate hain mai-khana-e-alam se hum su-e-adam
kah do az-khud-raftagi se hai irada dur ka

ki nazar jis par kudurat se raha khamosh wo
hai asar gard-e-nigah-e-yar mein sindur ka

jalwa-e-mashuq har ja hai basirat ho agar
kirmak-e-shab-tab mein aalam hai sham-e-tur ka

mar ke yaran-e-adam ke pas pahunchunga 'amir'
chalte chalte jaan jaegi safar hai dur ka
