main bikhar na jaun waraq waraq mujhe taq-e-dil mein sajaiye
mera harf harf hai be-baha mujhe is tarah na mitaiye

hai kuduraton ke hisar mein ye mohabbaton ka hasin nagar
ye dayar-e-ab-e-hayat hai ise sam-kada na banaiye

koi aks tak na thahar saka meri chashm-e-fikr-o-khayal mein
abhi ajnabi se hain khal-o-khad mujhe aaina na dikhaiye

pas-e-zulm aap ki bakhshishen ye inayaten ye sakhwaten
koi mang baithe na khun-baha ye lahu ke dagh chhupaiye

ho dilon mein husn-e-qalandari ho zaban pe nara-e-sarmadi
jo hila de takht-e-sikandari wahi kaj-kulahi dikhaiye

hai khizan ki zad pe abhi talak rukh-e-'sumbul' dil-e-yasmin
abhi intizar ka waqt hai abhi jashn-e-gul na manaiye
