khamosh dab-e-ishq ko bulbul liye hue
gul mast hai chaman mein piyala piye hue

imsal fasl-e-gul mein wo phir chaak ho gae
agle baras ke the jo gareban siye hue

hum bhi hawa mein ek gul-e-nau-khez-e-husn ke
barson phire hain chaak gareban kiye hue

dokanen mai-faroshon ki kab se padi hain band
rah rah gae hain qufl diye ke diye hue

ishq-e-sanam hai is mein hain khuddariyan zarur
ai dil khuda ke waste khud ko liye hue

murshid hai ishq hum hain murid us janab ke
barson guzar gae hain piyala piye hue

wo aa ke muskurae is andaz-o-naz se
khul khul gae jo zakhm-e-jigar the siye hue

roz-e-azal se dakhl wajud o adam mein hai
donon ilaqe hain ye hamare liye hue

hain but-parast dair mein haji hain kaba mein
talib raza-e-dost ke dharne diye hue

maidan-e-imtihan mein hamein bhej dijiye
kahiye unhen ye kaam hain jin ke kiye hue

namard apne wadi mein rakkhega kya qadam
sar ho muhimm-e-ishq na be-sar diye hue

kis kis tarah ka bhes badal kar pahunchte hain
aashiq hue na aap ke bahrupiye hue

hasil hua buton se na aashiq ko muddaa
raushan kabhi na dair mein ghee ke diye hue

tawiz o naqsh kuchh nahin karte asar wahan
sare ye khatkhate hain hamare kiye hue

ek shab hui nasib-e-sulaiman na jo pari
hum roz soe us ko baghal mein liye hue

aankhon mein phirti hain jo wo aankhen nashilyan
do botalon ki masti hai be-mai piye hue

bandha jo chust chust mazamin-e-nau ke sath
bandish se meri tang bahut qafiye hue

aashiq mizaj rote hain padh padh ke beshtar
ashaar 'rind' ke na hue marsiye hue
