rafta rafta jazb-e-ulfat mein kamal aa hi gaya
hijr ke parde se paigham-e-visal aa hi gaya

iztirab-e-dil ba-shakl-e-raaz aakhir ta-ba-ke
tishna-e-didar ke lab par sawal aa hi gaya

mere dast-e-arzu mein lakh nakaami pe bhi
wo nahin to un ka daman-e-khayal aa hi gaya

ye to ab tak phunk deta hasti-e-kaunain ko
wo to kahiye ishq mein kuchh e'tidal aa hi gaya

phut hi nikli rag-e-sauda se tanwir-e-junun
zarre zarre mein bayaban ke jamal aa hi gaya

naqsh dhundle ho chuke hain sanehat-e-zist ke
jaane kya dekha ki phir un ka khayal aa hi gaya

sar pe sauda-e-mohabbat pa-ba-zanjir-e-junun
tere dar par 'wahshi'-e-ashufta-haal aa hi gaya
