mera mazaq-e-ishq hai ruswa kahen jise
hai raaz tera husn-e-muamma kahen jise

paida kaha hai koi ki tujh sa kahen jise
tere siwa hai kaun piyara kahen jise

phir kashti-e-umid ho sahil se ham-kanar
itna hi ho karam ki sahaara kahen jise

ta-zist bekali rahe tere firaq mein
jari hon aise ashk ki dariya kahen jise

kaba hai tera ghar dil-e-shaida hai tera ghar
lekin wo aur kaun hai tujh sa kahen jise

ai barq-e-husn phunk de mujh ko kuchh is tarah
sab dida-e-kalim ka surma kahen jise

phir kashti-e-murad ko sahil ke pas la
phir maujzan ho rahm ka dariya kahen jise

tufan-e-masiyat se mile jald-tar najat
dal aisi ek nazar ki wasila kahen jise

nahaq mariz-e-ishq ka karte hain wo ilaj
taqdir mein kahan hai mudawa kahen jise

paida wo dard kar dil-e-ulfat-nasib mein
duniya ke dekhne ko tamasha kahen jise

dil ko tajalliyat ki kirnon se de chamak
tariki-e-jahan ka ujala kahen jise

nazzara-e-jamal se betab ho na dil
wo zarf ho ata ki gawara kahen jise

jo dil tha apna munis-o-gham-khwar-o-jaan-nawaz
itna kahan raha hai ki apna kahen jise

parde mein chupke aah na kar tu hamein kharab
mil is tarah haqiqat-e-jalwa kahen jise

daman-e-afiyat hi ghanimat hai ai 'umar'
us par hi un ke zulm hain shaida kahen jise
