jahan-e-rang-o-bu par chha raha hai
har ek parde se wo jalwa-numa hai

bashar thokar pe thokar kha raha hai
saza apne kiye ki pa raha hai

tamanna aur phir un ki tamanna
ye irfan-e-khudi ki intiha hai

buton ko dekh kar aata hai tu yaad
buton ke husn mein jalwa tera hai

kahin tu hai kahin taswir teri
na kaba hai na koi but-kada hai

tumhaari yaad kar leta hun taza
buton ko kaun kafir pujta hai

nahin chaara kisi ke pas is ka
mohabbat ek dard-e-la-dawa hai

sharab-e-zist pita ja raha hun
surur-e-hosh badhta ja raha hai

jigar mein chubh rahi hai nok-e-mizhgan
bala ka dard 'farigh' ho raha hai
