raaz khul jae na saqi kahin maikhane ka
zikr achchha nahin paimane se paimane ka

kya thikana hai bhala aap ke diwane ka
zindagi jis ke liye nam hai mar jaane ka

shahr mein tere main phirta hun yun mara mara
jaise ek ajnabi bhatka hua virane ka

baat to jab hai ki palkon se bhi izhaar na ho
dil mein mastur rahe raaz sanam-khane ka

jaan de dena bhari bazm mein aasan nahin
shama par mitna hi maqdur hai parwane ka

ek lamhe mein badal jae gulistan ka nizam
hum ulat den jo waraq ishq ke afsane ka

'dard' ke dard ko taskin mayassar ho jae
khat jo mil jae kabhi aap ke aa jaane ka
