jate hai khanqah se waiz salam hai
hum dair se chale sanam ab ram ram hai

surat wo sanwli ki kanhayya ghulam hai
mere sanam se khub-tar allah ka nam hai

dar-pesh hai wo manzil-e-na-taqati hamein
utthe jo ham-safar hai jo baithe maqam hai

sayyaad hi bahaar ke parde mein bulbulo
har ghuncha hai qafas rag-e-gul tar-e-ram hai

kyun kar na meri yaad faramosh ho use
samjha hai yar nang jise mera nam hai

mera lahu chataega jab tak na tegh ko
qatil ko dahne hath ka khana haram hai

saqi se ho jo dil-shikani bhi to lutf hai
tuta jo shisha meri baghal ka to jam hai

fasl-e-bahaar baat ki baat is chaman mein hai
aawaz-e-ghuncha rukhsat-e-gul ka payam hai

masti tapak rahi hai yahan baal baal se
tan mein lahu nahin ye mai-e-lal-fam hai

tahrir-e-haal ki kise taqat hai nama-bar
hai jaan honton par ye zabani payam hai

wo mah-ru chhupa hai mahaq-e-hijab mein
aashiq ke zindagi ka mahina tamam hai

samjhe rahen bahut mere kam-maegi harif
qatra wo hun ki aaj mera 'bahr' nam hai
