kaba mahdud hai paband-e-sanam-khana hai
ishq har qaid-e-khayalat se begana hai

kis qadar shokh meri fitrat-e-rindana hai
lab pe hai nam khuda hath mein paimana hai

khak hone pe bhi daman sharar hi mein raha
kis qadar shoala-fishan fitrat-e-parwana hai

faisla jazba-e-wahshat hai tujhi par mauquf
ye qafas hai ye gulistan hai ye virana hai

fursat-e-fikr-o-samaat hai to sun lo aa kar
dil ki dhadkan mein nihan dard ka afsana hai

justaju-e-haram-o-dair nahin hai 'maikash'
dil hi kaba hai mera dil hi sanam-khana hai
