maston pe ungliyan na uthao bahaar mein
dekho to hosh hai bhi kisi hoshyar mein

kuchh mohtasib ka khauf hai kuchh shaikh ka lihaz
pita hun chhup ke daman-e-abr-e-bahaar mein

wo samne dhari hai surahi bhari hui
donon jahan hain aaj mere ikhtiyar mein

allah baat kya hai ki diwangi meri
diwangi nahin nazar-e-hoshiyar mein

jhuti tasalliyon se na bahlao jao jao
jao ki tum nahin ho mere ikhtiyar mein

hun wadi-e-hayat mein is tarah sust-e-gam
jaise ho pa-shikasta koi khar-zar mein

ab wo sukun-e-yas na wo iztirab-e-shauq
sine mein dil hai ya koi lasha mazar mein

ab khak udaiye na hamare mazar ki
ab khak bhi nahin hai hamare mazar mein

tanhai-e-firaq mein ummid bar-ha
gum ho gai sukut ke hangama-zar mein

wo andalib-e-gulshan-e-mani hun main 'hafiz'
soz-e-sukhan se aag laga dun bahaar mein
