pamal-e-rah-e-ishq hain khilqat ki kha thokar bhi hum
jun shisha nazuk-tar the kya sakhti mein hain patthar bhi hum

aaina dil ka saf kar kahlae saiqal-gar bhi hum
apne siwa dekhen kise andar bhi hum bahar bhi hum

jaan-bar ho un se kyunki dil kahti hain palken yar ki
neza bhi hum nawak bhi hum barchhi bhi hum khanjar bhi hum

ashkon ki daulat kyun na ho sultan-e-aqlim-e-junun
rakhte hain sath apne sada ladkon ka ek lashkar bhi hum

chunwa ke abru mujh se kya wo hans ke farmane lage
is tegh ke dam le sada dikhlaenge jauhar bhi hum

kya khak kije mai-kashi ai saqi-e-gulfam aa
giryan hain misl-e-abr kya jun barq hain muztar bhi hum

kahte hain wo pan-khurda-lab yaqut ke tukde to the
kahlae lekin aaj se barg-e-gul-e-ahmar bhi hum

ai shokh danton ka tere yan ye tasawwur hai bandha
din raat chashm-e-tar se yan barsate hain gauhar bhi hum

rakhte to hain girdab-e-yam par dar hai ye ai chashm-e-tar
girdab-e-dariya ki tarah khate hain yan chakkar bhi hum

jo chahe kar jaur-o-jafa par dil ka mohr-e-dagh se
roz-e-qayamat kosna dikhlaenge mahzar bhi hum

qad se 'nasir' us ke sada ek shor-e-mahshar hai bapa
chhute azab-e-qabr se kya khak yan mar kar bhi hum
