khana-e-dil ki tarah sari faza hai ki nahin
kis ko malum ki bahar bhi hawa hai ki nahin

jashn barpa to hua tha dam-e-rukhsat lekin
wahi hangama mere baad bapa hai ki nahin

puchhta hai ye har ek khar-e-sar-e-dasht-e-junun
aane wala bhi koi aabla-pa hai ki nahin

dekh to ja ke masiha-e-gham-e-ishq use
hath ab tak yunhi sine pe dhara hai ki nahin

dil ke tarik dar-o-baam se aksar tera gham
puchhta hai ki koi mere siwa hai ki nahin

main kahin hun ki nahin hun wo kabhi tha ki na tha
tu hi kah de ye sukhan be-sar-o-pa hai ki nahin

faisla laut ke jaane ka hai kitna mushkil
kis se puchhun wo mujhe bhul chuka hai ki nahin

main to waraftagi-e-shauq mein jata hun udhar
nahin malum wo aaghosh bhi wa hai ki nahin

jaane kya rang chaman ka hai dam-e-subh-e-firaq
gul khile hain ki nahin baad-e-saba hai ki nahin

ai shab-e-hijr zara der ko bahle to ye dil
dekh 'irfan' kahin naghma-sara hai ki nahin
