junun ke dam se aakhir martaba kaisa mila mujh ko
abhi farhad-o-qais aae the kahne marhaba mujh ko

kisi surat bhi radd hota nahin ye faisla dil ka
nazar aata nahin koi bhi tujh sa dusra mujh ko

sar-e-kunj-e-tamanna phir khushi se gungunaunga
agar wo laut kar aae to phir tum dekhna mujh ko

na jaan-e-rashk se ghusse se gham se ya raqabat se
ye kis andaz se takta hai tera aaina mujh ko

khule to sab zamanon ke khazane hath aa jaen
dar-e-iqlim-e-haft-alam hai wo band-e-qaba mujh ko

guman mein bhi guman lagti hai ab to zindagi meri
nazar aata hai ab wo khwab mein bhi khwab sa mujh ko

kasafat bar pa sakti nahin aisi latafat mein
karam us ka ki bakhsha dil ke badle aabla mujh ko

saba meri qadam-bosi se pahle gul na dekhegi
agar wahshat ne kuchh din bagh mein rahne diya mujh ko

na nikli aaj gar koi yahan yakjai ki surat
to kal se dhundte phirna jahan mein ja-ba-ja mujh ko

guzargah-e-nafas mein hun misal-e-barg-e-awara
koi dam mein uda le jaegi baad-e-fana mujh ko

wo dil-awez aankhen wo lab-o-rukhsar wo zulfen
nahin ab dekhna kuchh bhi nahin us ke siwa mujh ko

azal se ta-abad duniya se le kar aasmanon tak
nazar aata hai teri hi nazar ka silsila mujh ko

mere hone se hi kuchh e'tibar us ka bhi qaem hai
junun tum se nimat lega jo diwana kaha mujh ko

koi 'irfan' mujh mein se mujhe aawaz deta hai
are tu sochta kya hai kabhi kuchh to bata mujh ko
