khirad ne mujh ko ata ki nazar hakimana
sikhai ishq ne mujh ko hadis-e-rindana

na baada hai na surahi na daur-e-paimana
faqat nigah se rangin hai bazm-e-jaanana

meri nawa-e-pareshan ko shairi na samajh
ki main hun mahram-e-raaz-e-durun-e-mai-khana

kali ko dekh ki hai tishna-e-nasim-e-sahar
isi mein hai mere dil ka tamam afsana

koi batae mujhe ye ghayab hai ki huzur
sab aashna hain yahan ek main hun begana

farang mein koi din aur bhi thahar jaun
mere junun ko sambhaale agar ye virana

maqam-e-aql se aasan guzar gaya 'iqbaal'
maqam-e-shauq mein khoya gaya wo farzana
