kar-gar ishq mein ab tak gham-e-pinhan na hua
main abhi be-khabar-e-kulfat-e-hijran na hua

mana-e-dasht-nawardi mujhe zindan na hua
dar-o-diwar se kuchh hosh ka saman na hua

bagh mein baad-e-saba bhejne wale har subh
hum asiran-e-qafas par kabhi ehsan na hua

nigah-e-naz hai aur ahl-e-hawas ke dil mein
hae wo tir jo paiwast-e-rag-e-jaan na hua

dasht-e-ghurbat mein pareshan nahin dil tang nahin
abhi diwana tera qabil-e-zindan na hua

hum ne dekha hai wo andaz-e-junun bhi jo kabhi
chaak-dil chaak-jigar chaak-gareban na hua

rang ko hasrat-e-parwaz abhi baqi hai
aalam-e-nikhat-exbarbaad-e-gulistan na hua

dar se uthta hai ek nara-e-mastana hanuz
hae wo dard jo sharminda-e-darman na hua

han bujha de dil-e-sozan ko magar tu jaane
bazm-e-hasti mein jo ye sokhta-saman na hua

khubiyan tujh mein hain ai ishq zamane bhar ki
ye to kuchh dawa-e-hamtai-e-khuban na hua

husn-e-gulzar se dil chaak hua jata hai
josh-e-gul chaaragar-e-tangi-e-daman na hua

sarhaden jalwa-gah-e-naz se jis ki na milen
wo to ek khel hua chaak-e-gareban na hua

kahti hai wasl ki shab wo nigah-e-khwab-alud
khatm abhi qissa-e-betabi-e-hijran na hua

aaj tak subh-e-azal se wahi sannata hai
ishq ka ghar kabhi sharminda-e-mehman na hua

zindagi kya wo tere gham se jo dil-tang nahin
kya wo shiraaza-e-hasti jo pareshan na hua

ahl-e-zindan ka ye majma hai subut is ka 'firaq'
ki bikhar kar bhi ye shiraaza pareshan na hua
