paya tere kushton ne jo maidan-e-bayaban
shan-e-chaman-e-khuld hui shan-e-bayaban

diwana tera mar ke hua zinda-e-jawed
ruh us ki jo nikli to hui jaan-e-bayaban

mujh sa bhi jahan mein koi saudai na hoga
samjha lahad-e-qais ko aiwan-e-bayaban

virana-nashini hai azal se meri jagir
qismat ne diya hai mujhe farman-e-bayaban

wahshat pe meri aahuon ke bahte hain aansu
hairat pe meri rote hain haiwan-e-bayaban

hai aalam-e-hu turbat-e-majnun ka mujawar
sannate ka aalam hai nigahban-e-bayaban

jis roz mere hosh ke ham-rah udenge
dam tod ke mar jaenge murghan-e-bayaban

ek din hi ye mauquf hua khak ka udna
kya kya na kiya qais ne saman-e-bayaban

parwa na thi basti ki na thi yaad watan ki
allah re mad-hoshi-o-nisyan-e-bayaban

rahte hain mere gird pari-zad hazaron
hun aalam-e-wahshat mein sulaiman-e-bayaban

laila pe jo aalam hai to majnun bhi hai khush-ru
wo hur-e-bayaban hai wo ghilman-e-bayaban

is tabqe ki manzur jo ki tum ne tabahi
barbaadi hui dast-o-gareban-e-bayaban

afsos hai is najd ko majnun ne basaya
laila jise kahti hai bayaban-e-bayaban

dil khol ke ji chahta hai khak udaun
phirne ko mila hai mujhe maidan-e-bayaban

jis din se bani hai tere diwane ki turbat
hote hain pari-zad bhi qurban-e-bayaban

sheron ke hila dale hain dil us ke junun ne
majnun hai ki hai rustam-e-dastan-e-bayaban

jis waqt 'sharaf' laila o majnun ne qaza ki
ek ghul hua rukhsat hue mehman-e-bayaban
