junun sukun khirad iztirab chahti hai
tabiat aaj naya inqalab chahti hai

na aaj teri nazar se baras raha hai nasha
na meri tishna-labi hi sharab chahti hai

nahin surur-e-musalsal nibah par mauquf
mudam aankh kahan lutf-e-khwab chahti hai

suna raha hun fasana teri mohabbat ka
ye kaenat amal ka hisab chahti hai

wo azm-ha-e-safar la-zawal hote hain
hayat maut ko jab ham-rikab chahti hai

jhulas raha hai badan dhup mein jawani ki
ye aag zulf ka gahra sahab chahti hai

harif-e-husn-o-mohabbat ho der tak 'shaukat'
nigar-e-umr wo ahd-e-shabab chahti hai
