koi bhi dil mein nahin ab aarzu
hai khayal-e-yar mere ru-ba-ru

wo bane unwan kitab-e-zist ka
aur kya ho us ki khatir justuju

meri aankhon mein ye kis ka aks hai
kar raha hai kaun mujh se guftugu

dekh kar jis ko bahaaren jhuk gain
us ki khushbu hai chaman mein chaar su

baat koi to bane khanjar utha
gar tujhe maqsud hai mera lahu

bargah-e-ishq se aai nida
hai dar-e-jaanan pe marna aabru

muntakhab jis ko mere dil ne kiya
us se badh kar kaun hoga khub-ru

pi raha hun main nigah-e-yar se
hech hain mere liye jam-o-subu

khugar-e-dard-e-mohabbat main hi tha
kis liye karta main zakhm-e-dil rafu

iztirab-e-hijr ka aalam na puchh
kar raha hun apne ashkon se wuzu

mere dil mein kash 'sair' jhank kar
dekh lete apne ahbab-o-adu
