jo aai khushbu kabhi tere pairahan ki tarah
gulab jalne lage hain mere badan ki tarah

ye tere naz-o-ada teri shokhi-o-shangi
hain dil-fareb bahut tere bankpan ki tarah

junun ko ras to aai sukunat-e-sahra
kahan wo lutf magar teri anjuman ki tarah

hain gul hazaron shagufta chaman chaman lekin
kahan wo nikhat-e-gul zakhm-e-jaan-o-tan ki tarah

bahaar chum ke aai hai teri zulf kahin
gulab mahke hain ab ke tere badan ki tarah

nahin hai tab-e-nazara isi liye shayad
wo rukh pe zulf saja lete hain gahan ki tarah

na chhu ke aai agar tere jism ki khushbu
saba hai mushk-bu kyun aahu-e-khutan ki tarah

na zikr-e-qais kahin hai na nisbat-e-farhad
badal gai hai mohabbat bhi fikr-o-fan ki tarah

kahan kahan ho rafu chaaragar se ab 'khawar'
jigar bhi chaak hua jae pairahan ki tarah
