mahbub-e-khuda ne tujhe nayab banaya
qad sarw kiya rukh gul-e-mahtab banaya

jab kuchh na bani ishq ne betab banaya
khud ban gaya shoala mujhe simab banaya

us husn ke dariya ne jo phir kar mujhe dekha
mauj-e-qadam-e-naz ko girdab banaya

sarmast-e-shahadat hain tere ishq mein saqi
aab-e-dam-e-khanjar ko mai-e-nab banaya

aagah kiya ishq ne qanun-e-wafa se
jab nakhun-e-shamshir ko mizrab banaya

sab uzw-e-badan sham-e-sifat bah gae gal kar
is sozish-e-dil ne mujhe sailab banaya

ek raat udai na meri dukhtar-e-raz se
saqi ne bat-e-mai ko bhi surkhab banaya

jism aisa damakta hai ki kapde chamak utthe
naino ko tere husn ne kamkhab banaya

kab talib-e-rahat hue zakhmi-e-mohabbat
marham ki jo hajat hui tezab banaya

aariz ne kiya sar-ba-zamin sare gulon ko
qamat ne har ek shakh ko mehrab baniya

ai 'bahr' bar-o-bahar mein gardish rahe hum ko
qismat ne bagula tujhe girdab banaya
