nigah-e-yar yunhi aur chand paimane
ab apne hosh mein aane na paen diwane

mohabbat asl mein kya chiz hai khuda jaane
dahan mein jitni zabanen hain utne afsane

jo ashk-e-surkh hai nama-nigar hai dil ka
sukut-e-shab mein likhe ja rahe hain afsane

jahan-e-hosh mein ta-hashr tabsire honge
zaban mein apni ye kya kah rahe the diwane

shugun us nigah-e-mai-farosh se le kar
hum aap waza karenge hazar maikhane

na puchho aah-e-mohabbat ki rakhna-andazi
khuda gawah hai apne hue hain begane

har ashk-e-surkh hai daman-e-shab mein aag ka phul
baghair shama ke bhi jal rahe hain parwane

qadam qadam pe sada-e-shikast-e-tauba hai
nisar-e-laghzish-e-saqi hazar paimane

fareb-e-husn-e-samaat teri duhai hai
haqiqaton ki jagah chhinte hain afsane

buland-o-past nazar farq-e-zahiri hai 'siraj'
bane to hain inhin aabaadiyon se virane
