niyaz o naz ke jhagde mitae jate hain
hum un mein aur wo hum mein samae jate hain

shuru-e-rah-e-mohabbat are maaz-allah
ye haal hai ki qadam dagmagae jate hain

ye naz-e-husn to dekho ki dil ko tadpa kar
nazar milate nahin muskurae jate hain

mere junun-e-tamanna ka kuchh khayal nahin
lajae jate hain daman chhudae jate hain

jo dil se uthte hain shoale wo rang ban ban kar
tamam manzar-e-fitrat pe chhae jate hain

main apni aah ke sadqe ki meri aah mein bhi
teri nigah ke andaz pae jate hain

rawan dawan liye jati hai aarzu-e-visal
kashan kashan tere nazdik aae jate hain

kahan manazil-e-hasti kahan hum ahl-e-fana
abhi kuchh aur ye tohmat uthae jate hain

meri talab bhi usi ke karam ka sadqa hai
qadam ye uthte nahin hain uthae jate hain

ilahi tark-e-mohabbat bhi kya mohabbat hai
bhulate hain unhen wo yaad aae jate hain

sunae the lab-e-nai se kisi ne jo naghme
lab-e-'jigar' se mukarrar sunae jate hain
