kis tarah chain se dam bhar shab-e-furqat mein rahe
hae wo dil jo tere wasl ki hasrat mein rahe

hum pas-e-marg bhi betabi-e-furqat mein rahe
kabhi bahar nikal aae kabhi turbat mein rahe

tirgi ab na hamari shab-e-furqat mein rahe
un ki zulfon mein rahe ghair ki turbat mein rahe

ku-e-qatil mein rahe hum ye aziyyat mein rahe
nim-bismil ki tarah shauq-e-shahadat mein rahe

subh tak mujh se wo lipta shab-e-waslat mein rahe
raat bhar aaj asar jazb-e-mohabbat mein rahe

ghair ke ashkon se dhoen to na daman se chhute
itni shokhi to mere khun ki rangat mein rahe

rang halka sa ho jin phulon ka wo pahno tum
kuchh takalluf bhi meri jaan nazakat mein rahe

ghair ke sath wo jab phul chadhane aae
hum bahut dil ko sanbhaale hue turbat mein rahe

teri sarkar mein insaf yahi hai ai ishq
aarzu koi nikale koi hasrat mein rahe

zabh ke waqt wo zanu pe mera sar rakh le
kuchh to aaram ka pahlu bhi aziyyat mein rahe

dam-e-khanda dar-e-dandan ka agar aks pade
kuchh chamak bhi tere rukhsar ki rangat mein rahe

lutf kya pae hain hans bol ke hum ne tum ne
gul-o-bulbul ki tarah bagh-e-mohabbat mein rahe

puchhen ahwal mera wo to ye kahna qasid
shab ko bechain bahut dard ki shiddat mein rahe

dil na qabu mein raha dekh ke surat un ki
ghash se fursat hui hum ko to hairat mein rahe

main to ghabra ke chala hun kisi kuche ki taraf
bekasi aa ke mere ghar shab-e-furqat mein rahe

bad-guman hun main dikhae na kisi ko surat
ya mere dil mein rahe ya koi khalwat mein rahe

rukh-e-raushan pe jo tum zulf-e-siyah bikhra do
phir na kuchh khauf sahar ka shab-e-waslat mein rahe

baad murdan na jagah pai kisi kuche mein
muft barbaad hasinon ki mohabbat mein rahe

meri turbat se lipat kar ye kisi ka kahna
aap ab hashr talak wasl ki hasrat mein rahe

zanu-e-hur pe soya kiye sar rakkhe hue
tere kushte bhi badi aish se turbat mein rahe

baad marne ke khuli hain jo hamari aankhen
hai ishaara tere didar ki hasrat mein rahe

dhajjiyan shaikh ki is tarah udao rindo
ek bhi tar na dastar-e-fazilat mein rahe

be-naqab aa ke jo wo qabr pe gham karte hain
chahte hain ki meri nash na turbat mein rahe

kabhi dil tham ke baithe kabhi ghabra utthe
kya kahen aap se kyunkar shab-e-furqat mein rahe

zabh karta koi zanu se daba kar sina
hae mushtaq-e-shahadat isi hasrat mein rahe

khush-nasibi hai jo phirta hun tere kuche mein
aarzu hai yahi gardish meri qismat mein rahe

ghair ki qabr pe wo phul chadhaya kiye roz
aasra hum bhi lagae hue turbat mein rahe

hazrat-e-shaikh jo maikhane mein aaen 'naushad'
ek bhi tar na dastar-e-fazilat mein rahe
