kabhi aabaad virane na hote
agar duniya mein diwane na hote

na hota shama ka yun nam raushan
agar jaanbaz parwane na hote

junun ki had ko pa lena tha mushkil
agar hushiyar diwane na hote

agar dar-parda kuchh baaten na hotin
to ye dilchasp afsane na hote

agar pyason ko milta jam saqi
to yun badnam maikhane na hote

agar rakhte na hum irfan-e-wahdat
to but-khane khuda-khane na hote

junun ka hausla hargiz na badhta
jo gulshan aur virane na hote

ghanimat hai hamari zat saqi
na hum hote to maikhane na hote

inhen ai 'soz' kuchh hona hi padta
ye diwane jo diwane na hote
