payambar main nahin aashiq hun jaani
rahe musi hi se ye lan-tarani

sulaiman hum hain ai mahbub-e-jaani
samajhte hain tujhe bilqis-e-sani

khula saude mein un zulfon ke mar kar
pareshan khwab thi ye zindagani

ye kyun aata hai un se qad-kushi ko
gadi jati hai sarw-e-bostani

wahi dega kabab-e-nargisi bhi
jo deta hai sharab-e-arghawani

ranga hai ishq ne kis dard-e-sar se
hamara jama-e-tan zafrani

musafir ki tarah rah khana-bar-dosh
nahin jae-e-iqamat dar-e-fani

tere kuche ke mushtaqon ke aage
jahannam hai bahisht-e-asmani

wo mai-kash hun diya hai qabla ne
jise ghusl-e-sharab-e-arghawani

yaqin hai dida-e-barik-bin ko
kare ainak talab ye na-tawani

wo khat hai yaadgar-e-husn-e-rafta
wo sabza hai gulistan ki nishani

nikalti munh se qasid ke nahin baat
magar laya hai paigham-e-zabani

ye musht-e-khak ho maqbul-e-dargah
saba ki chahta hun mehrbani

liye hain bosa-e-rukhsara-e-saf
piya hai hum ne aaine ka pani

safedi mu ki ho kafur har-chand
koi mitta hai ye dagh-e-jawani

na khush ho farbahi-e-tan se ghafil
subuk karti hai murde ko girani

mue jo peshtar marne se wo log
kafan samjhe qaba-e-zindagani

jalati hai dil 'atish' tur ki tarah
kisi parda-nashin ki lan-tarani
