parda-e-chashm se lahu nikla
qatra baadal se surkh-ru nikla

sakht baaton se us ka dil tuta
sang-dil shokh tund-khu nikla

hai baja mar-e-astin kahna
rah ke pahlu mein dil adu nikla

aankh ka ishq mein qusur nahin
dil sarasar mera adu nikla

ek gul hi pe kuchh nahin mauquf
wo hazaron se khub-ru nikla

mai ke pine mein raat bhar zahid
na to hum nikle aur na tu nikla

aaina kal hua tha khana-nashin
aaj kyon tere ru-ba-ru nikla

jae kyunkar kahin dil-e-wahshi
basta-e-zulf mu-ba-mu nikla

shauq-e-abru mein tere badr-e-munir
mah-e-nau ban ke qibla-ru nikla

mai piyen barshkal aai hai
sabza duniya mein chaar su nikla

tujh se sharma ke sham mehr chhupa
subh nikla to radd-e-ru nikla

chashm-e-wahdat parast wa jo hui
main ne dekha to mujh mein tu nikla

mohtasib tu bhi surat-e-zahid
dushman-e-saghar-o-subu nikla

dost samjhe the hum jise 'talib'
dushman-e-jaan-o-abru nikla
