paida hua ye habab kaisa
dariya mein hai pech-o-tab kaisa

ab fasl-e-junun kahan hai baqi
phir dekh raha hun khwab kaisa

tha dast-e-hunar mein mom sa jo
pathra gaya wo shabab kaisa

sim-sim ki sada pe khul raha tha
tha halqa-e-dar-e-sarab kaisa

ek ek waraq padha hua sa
hai nuskha-e-intikhab kaisa

partaw se tere wajud mera
aaghosh mein le hijab kaisa

kya jaane hamari talkh-kaami
hai zaiqa-e-sharab kaisa

khushbuen tawaf kar rahi thin
tha pichhle pahar khitab kaisa

qatra qatra chamak raha hai
raushan hua zer-e-ab kaisa

main apne khilaf ho gaya hun
nazil hua ye azab kaisa

muddat se hai band qufl-e-abjad
ai muhtasibo hisab kaisa

sab mauj-e-hawa mein rang us ke
ai momino ijtinab kaisa

diwar ka bojh baam par hai
ye ghar bhi hua kharab kaisa
