mujh ko ye jaan-o-dil qubul naghme ko naghma hi samajh
saz ye bitti hai kya ye bhi kabhi kabhi samajh

ishq hai tishnagi ka nam tod de gar mile bhi jam
shiddat-e-tishnagi na dekh lazzat-e-tishnagi samajh

husn ki mehrbaniyan ishq ke haq mein zahr hain
husn ke ijtinab tak ishq ki zindagi samajh

tark-e-talluqat bhi ain-e-talluqat hai
aag bujhi hui na jaan aag dabi hui samajh

aql ke karobar mein dil ko bhi rakh sharik-e-kar
dil ke muamalat mein aql ko ajnabi samajh

ghuncha-o-gul ke sath sath dil ki taraf bhi ek nazar
shefta-e-shaguftagi wajh-e-shaguftagi samajh

aise bhi raaz hain 'khumar' hote nahin jo aashkar
apni hi mushkilen na dekh un ki bhi bebasi samajh
