kahan hum aur kahan ab sharab-khana-e-ishq
na wo dimagh na wo dil na wo zamana-e-ishq

hua hai shahr-e-khamoshan mein jab guzar mera
suna kiya hun lab-e-gor se fasana-e-ishq

khayal-e-rukh pe hai mauquf dil ki aabaadi
kabhi na gul ho ilahi charagh-e-khana-e-ishq

bhare hue hain hasinan-e-sim-tan dil mein
khuda kare kabhi khali na ho khazana-e-ishq

gai dimagh mein jis ke kiya asir use
ajab kamand hai bu-e-sharab-khana-e-ishq

kahin hai dagh ka mazmun kahin hai soz ka zikr
suno na tum ki bahut garm hai fasana-e-ishq

ghalat hai sahab-e-daulat ko gar ghani kahiye
ghani wo hai jise allah de khazana-e-ishq

jo bahr-e-gham mein gira hath dho ke jine se
usi ke hath bhi aaya dur-e-yagana-e-ishq

tamam umr isi sahra ki khak chhani hai
jo tum suno to sunaun koi fasana-e-ishq

bane hain jab se wo yusuf har ek gahak hai
khula hua hai yahan bhi dar-e-khazana-e-ishq

kisi pe dil ka tha aana ki be-khudi chhai
samand-e-hosh ko aafat hai taziyana-e-ishq

jab un ke dil mein ye aati hai kuchh sunen nale
to mujh se kahte hain chhedo koi tarana-e-ishq

chamak ke dagh ye kahta hai dil ki aahon se
hawa se bujh nahin sakta charagh-e-khana-e-ishq

ye jaaniye ki lagi hath daulat-e-kaunain
mile jo khirman-e-hasti se ek dana-e-ishq

yahan 'ayaz' hai aaqa ghulam hai 'mahmud'
'jalil' kya main kahun tum se karkhana-e-ishq
