qadah liye hue gul misl-e-baada-khwar aaya
khizan chaman se gai mausam-e-bahaar aaya

kisi tariq se dil mein agar ghubar aaya
hua yaqin ye mujh ko wo shah-sawar aaya

tamam umr yun hi ho gai basar apni
shab-e-firaq gai roz-e-intizar aaya

gul-e-sawar-o-payaada shikast kha gae sab
chaman mein jab tan-e-tanha wo shahsawar aaya

khabar kare koi zahid ko aae bahr-e-madad
shikast-e-tauba ko phir mausam-e-bahaar aaya

sharab kyon na chale fasl-e-gul mein ai zahid
ki nahren jari huin mausam-e-bahaar aaya

diye falak ne mere sar ko katte hi gul-dagh
gila nahin koi panw tale jo khar aaya

chaman mein koi gul-e-tar jo shakh par dekha
to mujh ko yaad wo mahbub nai-sawar aaya

kabhi jo sair-e-chaman ko wo nai-sawar gaya
gul-e-piyaada ye samjhe ki gul-sawar aaya

lab us ke pista zaqan seb aankhen hain baadam
khule jo dant hansi mein nazar anar aaya

jo gosh-e-gul na sune bagh mein to kya chaara
qafas se nala-e-bulbul hazar bar aaya

teri sawari mein kab panj shakhe hain ai sarw
jilau mein sehn-e-gulistan se hai chinar aaya

shikast pai hai tauba ki tarah us ko bhi
hamare pas jo ai mai-kasho khumar aaya

ye nazuki ke hain mani ke bagh mein wo gul
qarib aatish-e-gul jo gaya bukhar aaya

kabhi na qatra diya tu ne saqiya mujh ko
udhar na aatish-e-mai ka koi sharar aaya

misal-e-sang-e-garan jaan nahin jo baith rahun
ki is jahan mein hun surat-e-sharar aaya

laga jo tir tera sina-e-mushabbak mein
main khush hua ki mere dam mein shikar aaya

dikha ke bagh mein aankhen chadhi hui apni
wo nashsha dida-e-nargis se aaj utar aaya
