khayal-o-khwab hui hain mohabbaten kaisi
lahu mein nach rahi hain ye wahshaten kaisi

na shab ko chand hi achchha na din ko mehr achchha
ye hum pe bit rahi hain qayamaten kaisi

wo sath tha to khuda bhi tha mehrban kya kya
bichhad gaya to hui hain adawaten kaisi

azab jin ka tabassum sawab jin ki nigah
khinchi hui hain pas-e-jaan ye suraten kaisi

hawa ke dosh pe rakkhe hue charagh hain hum
jo bujh gae to hawa se shikayaten kaisi

jo be-khabar koi guzra to ye sada de di
main sang-e-rah hun mujh par inayaten kaisi

nahin ki husn hi nairangiyon mein taq nahin
junun bhi khel raha hai siyasaten kaisi

na sahban-e-junun hain na ahl-e-kashf-o-kamal
hamare ahd mein aain kasafaten kaisi

jo abr hai wahi ab sang-o-khisht lata hai
faza ye ho to dilon mein nazakaten kaisi

ye daur-e-be-hunaran hai bacha rakho khud ko
yahan sadaqaten kaisi karamaten kaisi
