kan mein nala-e-hazar aaya
muzhda-e-mausam-e-bahaar aaya

kya khayal-e-sharab-khwar aaya
barq sa abr be-qarar aaya

bagh-e-alam mein tha main nakhl-e-shama
jal gaya gul na barg-o-bar aaya

dekh shatranj-e-dahr ki raftar
ki piyaada gaya sawar aaya

mar gae par bhi shauq-e-wasl raha
khwab mein bhi khayal-e-yar aaya

shisha-e-saat ek ghadi mein bana
dil mein jis dam zara ghubar aaya

yar jab ghair ke gale se mila
yaad kya sadma-e-fishaar aaya

pak-tinat wo tha ki parwana
shama ban kar sar-e-mazar aaya

shab ko ai gul jo ghair se tu hansa
mujh ko rona hazar bar aaya

bakhsh de ab to ai khuda-e-karim
dil-e-mayus umid-war aaya

ek nazar 'arsh' sair-e-hasti kar
kaun ja kar adam se yar aaya
