na tajalliyan na tasalliyan na salam hai na kalam hai

na tajalliyan na tasalliyan na salam hai na kalam hai
teri jalwa-gah-e-khayal mein bhi sukut hi ka payam hai
abhi husn mahw-e-khiram hai abhi shokh jalwa-e-am hai
kabhi khalwaton mein bhi ram hai ki takhaiyyulat ka dam hai


na wo aarzuen zaban zaban na wo hasraten hain nazar nazar
teri anjuman na wo anjuman na wo shauq hi ka maqam hai
na wo tur-e-naz ki bijliyan na kalim-e-ishq ki shokhiyan
na wo raunaqen na wo ishraten na wo subh hai na wo sham hai


jo sharab-e-husn-o-jamal mein bhi hain bul-hawas ki milawaten
dil-e-mai-parast hai khun-fishan ki ye mai-kade ka nizam hai
dam-e-kaenat fughan-fughan gham-e-mumkinat hai jaan-sitan
ye tasawwuraat dhuan-dhuan ki adam wajud ka nam hai


hai nishan-e-zakhm subu-subu yahan sagharon mein lahu-lahu
ye buka ye nala ye hichkiyan ye fughan-e-shisha-o-jam hai
meri aah raunaq-e-anjuman hai sada-e-dard sukhan-sukhan
teri pardagi ka ye bankpan kahan jalwa hai kahan baam hai


hai talash-e-husn makan-makan wahi justuju hai zaman-zaman
ye fareb 'akhtar'-e-khush-guman dil-e-mubtala ka hi kaam hai
