kah rahi hai sari duniya tera diwana mujhe
teri nazron ne bana dala hai afsana mujhe

ishq mein ab mil gai hai mujh ko meraj-e-junun
ab to wo bhi kah rahe hain apna diwana mujhe

dars-e-ibrat hai tumhaare waste mera maal
ghuncha o gul ko sunana hai ye afsana mujhe

ek nigah-e-naz ne saqi ki ye kya kar diya
rafta rafta kah uthe sab pir-e-mai-khana mujhe

tu sarapa nur hai main tera aks-e-khas hun
kah rahe hain yun tera sab aaina-khana mujhe

sun rahi thi shauq se duniya jise ai ham-nafas
yaad hai han yaad hai wo mera afsana mujhe

nur se bhar pur ho jati hai bazm-e-arzu
jab kabhi wo dekhte hain be-hijabana mujhe

al-madad ai zohd badh kar rok le mere qadam
tishnagi phir le chali hai su-e-mai-khana mujhe

ham-nafas meri to fitrat hi sana-e-husn hai
ishq ke bande kaha karte hain diwana mujhe

mujh ko 'qaisar' mai-kade se nikle ek muddat hui
yaad karte hain abhi tak jam o paimana mujhe
