meri aahon se jila chahta hai
aasman radd-e-bala chahta hai

mujh ko to marzi-e-maula aula
aur dil sab ka bhala chahta hai

burrish-e-tegh na maili ho jae
ba-safa hun wo gila chahta hai

aaina ho gaya aaina-sarisht
yani wo mujh mein dhala chahta hai

mauj-dar-mauj gulistan sara
mere daman pe khula chahta hai

boriye ko kaha saman-e-nashat
dekhte rahna jila chahta hai

mujh ko darwesh samajhne wala
khush-gumani ka sila chahta hai

zanu-e-shauq se lag baitha hai
aaina apni jila chahta hai

nahin pur-shauq koi is ke liye
'hasanat' ab to khala chahta hai
