koi us se nahin kahta ki ye kya bewafai hai
chura kar dil mera ab aankh bhi apni churai hai

utho ai mai-kasho aabaad mai-khana karen chal kar
zara dekho to kya kali ghata ghanghor chhai hai

buton ke ishq se hum baz aae hain na aaenge
nahin parwa hamein dushman agar sari khudai hai

nashat-e-dil ko dushman ke banaenge usi se hum
wo kahte hain teri aah-e-rasa tera hawai hai

bigad kar ghair se tum aae ho hum ye samajhte hain
hamare samne be-wajh kyun surat banai hai

har ek mushkil se mushkil kaam banta hai banane se
magar bigdi hui qismat kisi ne kab banai hai

khabar sun kar mere marne ki wo kahne lage hans kar
kisi dushman ne shayad ye khabar jhuti udai hai

gulon ko naghma-e-bulbul sunai tak nahin deta
tere diwanon ne wo dhum gulshan mein machai hai

dil-e-ashiq mein ho ai 'mashriqi' gar jazb-e-dil kaamil
wo but phir kyun na mail ho koi ghar ki khudai hai
