khirad fareb-e-nazaron ki koi baat karo
junun-nawaz bahaaron ki koi baat karo

kisi ki wada-khilafi ka zikr khub nahin
mere rafiq sitaron ki koi baat karo

zamana-saz zamane ki baat rahne do
khulus-e-dost ke maron ki koi baat karo

ghata ki ot se chhup kar jo dekhte the hamein
unhin sharir sitaron ki koi baat karo

zamana zikr-e-hawadis se kanp uthta hai
sukun-ba-dosh kinaron ki koi baat karo

nahin hai hadd-e-nazar tak wajud sahil ka
faza muhib hai dhaaron ki koi baat karo

salam-e-shauq liye the kisi ne jin se 'shakeb'
unhin latif ishaaron ki koi baat karo
