qaid mein rahte hain jab tak bhi jiye jate hain

qaid mein rahte hain jab tak bhi jiye jate hain
halqe zanjir ke phir tod diye jate hain
raunaqen chand sitaron ki liye jate hain
chandni raat ko be-nur kiye jate hain


ye tabassum na sahi husn ki saughat sahi
dard ko ek chamak aur diye jate hain
khak hone pe bhi kam hota nahin jazba-e-ishq
raushni shama ki parwane liye jate hain


surkh aankhon se tapak kar ye gulabi aansu
mere daman ko bhi rangin kiye jate hain
dub jati hai sawere hi se suraj ki kiran
jab sar-e-sham charaghon ke diye jate hain


jin ko duniya mein sambhalne ki ijazat na mili
zindagi bhar ke wo arman liye jate hain
zindagi meri to ginti hai gareban ke shigaf
aap kyon daman-e-hasti ko siye jate hain


saqiya rind to mohtat hain majbur nahin
aks mai-khana ka aankhon mein liye jate hain
'fazl' aain mohabbat ka badalne ke liye
ahl-e-dil kis liye majbur kiye jate hain
