khugar-e-aish-o-masarrat dil-e-khud-kaam nahin
hai ye aaram ki surat magar aaram nahin

maut lai hai ye paigham ki is ghar se nikal
tu ne jo kaam kiye qabil-e-inam nahin

daimi zist ho darkar to marna sikho
ye wo aaghaz hai jis ka koi anjam nahin

dekh kar hashr mein neki-o-badi ki fihrist
ishq hai sar-ba-gareban ki mera nam nahin

log kahte hain ki wo puchhte rahte hain magar
un ki jaanib se to ab tak koi paigham nahin

kab khuda jaane wo khalwat se baramad honge
mahfil-e-naz abhi jalwa-gah-e-am nahin

is ko jis tarah banae koi ban jati hai
zindagi khud sabab-e-rahat-o-alam nahin
