pabandi-e-hudud se begana chahiye
daman ba-qadr-e-wahshat-e-diwana chahiye

hota hai fash girya-e-paiham se raaz-e-ishq
ai shama raaz-dari-e-parwana chahiye

zauq-e-ubudiyat hai tayyun se be-niyaz
ham-surat-e-jabin dar-e-jaanana chahiye

bazm-e-niyaz-e-ishq mein hun aashna-e-hosh
be-parda aaj phir rukh-e-jaanana chahiye

ai zauq-e-ijz jalwa-gah-e-yar hai qarib
pa-e-talab mein laghzish-e-mastana chahiye

'tabish' gham-e-hayat hi wajh-e-nashat hai
har ek dagh surat-e-paimana chahiye
