kya mai-kada hai ishq haqiqat mein yar ka
be-khud ka hai jo haal wahi hoshiyar ka

kya mahw-e-ishq hun mujhe itni nahin khabar
furqat ki shab hai roz hai ya wasl-e-yar ka

jo chahe wo suluk kare hasrat-e-baqa
main aur sath zindagi-e-mustaar ka

pahlu mein ab kahan hai wo dil wo hujum-e-yas
kya jald mit gaya hai nishan us dayar ka

baaten bhi hain to wo hain ki ho aur gham siwa
kya jaanen kis taraf ko hai dil gham-gusar ka

gulshan mein muntashir to hain auraq-e-gul tamam
kaisa tha kuchh na puchho zamana bahaar ka
