mera dard-e-dil hai rawan-dawan mera zakhm-e-dil bhi gulab hai
meri khushbuon si hai dastan ye jahan meri kitab hai

main qalam ka ek sipahi hun meri zehniyat mein hai shairi
jahan fikr ki hai bulandiyan mera harf harf wo bab hai

kabhi mere dil mein tu dekhna ki jahan tamam simat gae
kare zikr jis ka har ek zaban mere dard ka wo shabab hai

tujhe sath kaise main le chalun main safar pe hun kisi tur ke
tere sath chalti hain mastiyan teri chaal mauj-e-chanab hai

mere baal-o-par mein wo hausla hai jo aasman ko samet le
jo mujhe banaega jawedan meri chashm-e-tar mein wo khwab hai

mujhe le ke chalna hai le ke chal par use bhi le le tu sath mein
mujhe kar na paega tu bayan main sawal hun wo jawab hai

main nashe mein tere hi chur hun tere pas ho ke bhi dur hun
tu mere wajud mein hai nihan tera gham hi meri sharab hai

ye nujum-o-shams-o-qamar sabhi mein jo raushni hai mujhi se hai
mera qarz-dar hai aasman mere zakhmon hi ki wo tab hai

main ne sarf kar di hai zindagi teri manzilon ki talash mein
tujhe dhundhta na phira kahan mere ishq ka tu sarab hai
