maza gunah ka jab tha ki ba-wazu karte
buton ko sajda bhi karte to qibla-ru karte

kabhi na parwarish-e-nakhl-e-arzu karte
numu se pahle jo andesha-e-numu karte

sunen na dil se to phir kya padi thi kharon ko
ki gul ko mahram-e-anjam-e-rang-o-bu karte

gunah tha bhi to kaisa gunah-be-lazzat
qafas mein baith ke kya yaad-e-rang-o-bu karte

bahana chahti thi maut bas na tha apna
ki mezbani-e-mehman-e-hila-e-ju karte

dalil-e-rah dil-e-shab charagh tha tanha
buland-o-past mein guzri hai justuju karte

azal se jo kashish-e-markazi ke the paband
hawa ki tarah wo kya sair chaar-su karte

falak ne bhul-bhulayyon mein dal rakkha tha
hum un ko dhundte ya apni justuju karte

asir-e-haal na murdon mein hain na zindon mein
zaban katti hai aapas mein guftugu karte

panah milti na ummid-e-be-wafa ko kahin
hawas-nasib agar tark-e-arzu karte
