koi baat aisi aaj ai meri gul-rukhsar ban jae
ki bulbul baaton baaton mein dam-e-guftar ban jae

ayan ho jazb-e-shauq aisa hasin aaen ziyarat ko
meri turbat ka mela misr ka bazar ban jae

mere hansne pe wo kahte hain aisa bhi na ho be-khud
ki koi aadmi se qahqaha diwar ban jae

tajjub kuchh nahin hai gar wafur-e-soz-e-furqat se
mera har mu-e-tan minqar-e-mausiqar ban jae

tahalte gar chale aaen wo daghon ke tamashe ko
abhi sarw-e-charaghan mera jism-e-zar ban jae

barahman shaikh ko kar de nigah-e-naz us but ki
gulu-e-zohd mein tar-e-nazar zunnar ban jae

agar ghar se ba-qasd-e-sair nikle wo kaman-abru
to bahr-e-tair-e-dil har mizha sufar ban jae

tabassum kar tamasha dekh ke wahshat ka phir zalim
mera chaak-e-gareban zakhm-e-daman-dar ban jae

yunhi hans hans ke tum aashiq ka rona dekhte jao
ki har tar-e-nazar ek motiyon ka haar ban jae

badhao manzilat tegh ada ki tund-khui se
munasib hai jo ye shamshir jauhar-dar ban jae

agar aaina-e-dil saf ho husn-e-tawajjoh se
har ek aankhon ka parda parda-e-asrar ban jae

yahi hai khun-baha chal kar zara kah do ishaare se
'habib-e-khasta ka marqad pas-e-diwar ban jae
