junun ba-khair har aafat se kaamran nikle
talash-e-manzil-e-jaanan mein hum jahan nikle

hum aa gae rasan-o-dar tak mohabbat mein
tumhaare qaul faqat zeb-e-dastan nikle

sitam-shiaron ne har ek sitam ke baad kaha
hamare dil ke abhi hausle kahan nikle

nikalna un ka saja kar wo mang mein afshan
ki jaise shab mein sitaron ka karwan nikle

na jaane kaun si taqat thi jis ne rok diya
junun ki rah mein hum jab bhi na-gahan nikle

meri tabahi ka afsana ban gae hamdam
wo baal-o-par jo pas-e-shakh-e-ashiyan nikle

laga ke khana-e-'hasrat' mein aag kahte hain
is aag se na kabhi dekhna dhuan nikle
