khami-e-ishq hai izhaar-e-tamanna karna
ai dil-e-zar na bhule se bhi aisa karna

ban pade kuchh na mohabbat mein agar ai dil-e-zar
tujh ko lazim hai asar aah mein paida karna

ab ba-juz is ke nahin aur koi shaghl pasand
aa gaya jab se unhen khun-e-tamanna karna

tum jo chaho to karam aaj bhi ho sakta hai
kuchh zaruri to nahin wada-e-farda karna

hum ne ghar jalte hue dekhe hain is ki lau se
ishq ki shama se dil mein na ujala karna

ek do sajde mein kuchh mang khuda se zahid
zeb deta nahin har roz taqaza karna

ek taraf ishq pe ilzam zamane bhar ke
ek taraf shart ye rakh di ki na lab wa karna

dekh ai husn bharam is ka hai qaem hum se
har kisi se na kahen wada-e-farda karna

ye bhi kam-maegi-e-zarf hai aakhir 'sahir'
raaz maikhane ka har bazm mein ruswa karna
