qillat khulus ki hai mohabbat ka kal hai
is shahr-e-na-sipas mein jina muhaal hai

pedon pe chandni ke hayule hain mahw-e-raqs
kamre mein tirgi ki lakiron ka jal hai

sanson ka rabt jaise musalsal azab ho
wo shakhs kya jiye jise tera khayal hai

lamhon ne chhin li hai ruton se shaguftagi
ye sal mausamon ke taghayyur ka sal hai

ab to shikast-e-jaan ke amal se najat de
ye na-tawan wajud dukhon se nidhaal hai

chidiyan chahak chahak ke pareshan ho gain
kawwon ka shor ghar ki faza ka wabaal hai

phulon ka lams chand ki thandak bhi hech hai
wo khush badan to aap hi apni misal hai

aa phir se mere pyar ki taqdis ban 'niyaz'
aa kanpte labon pe tera hi sawal hai
