kuchh kam nahin hain shama se dil ki lagan mein hum
fanus mein wo jalti hai yan pairahan mein hum

hain tufta-jaan mufaraqat-e-gul-badan mein hum
aisa na ho ki aag laga den chaman mein hum

gum honge bu-e-zulf-e-shikan-dar-shikan mein hum
qabza karenge chin ko le kar khutan mein hum

gar ye hi chhed dast-e-junun ki rahi to bas
mar kar bhi sina chaak karenge kafan mein hum

mahw-e-khayal-e-zulf-e-butan umr bhar rahe
mashhur kyun na hon kaho diwana-pan mein hum

honge aziz khalq ki nazron mein dekhna
gir kar bhi apne yar ke chah-e-zaqan mein hum

chhakke hi chhut jaenge ghairon ke dekhna
aa nikle han kabhi jo teri anjuman mein hum

ai andalib dawa-e-behuda par kahin
ek aadh gul ka munh na masal den chaman mein hum

aashiq hue hain parda-nashin par bas is liye
rakhte hain soz-e-ishq nihan jaan o tan mein hum

zalim ki sach masal hai ki rassi daraaz hai
misdaq us ka pate hain charkh-e-kuhan mein hum

anqa ka 'aish' nam to hai go nishan nahin
yan wo bhi kho chuke hain talash-e-dahan mein hum
