raha karte hain mai-khanon mein hum pir-e-mughan ho kar
tabiat zinda-dil rakhti hai piri mein jawan ho kar

chhupe the qabr mein gardish-zada kya shadman ho kar
yahan bhi sath hai dauran-e-sarka aasman ho kar

hua hai shohra daghon ka nisar-e-gul-rukhan ho kar
udi bu-e-wafa meri nasim-e-bostan ho kar

jhukegi rafta rafta shakh-e-nakhl-e-qad kaman ho kar
khinchega tul furqat ka zah-e-tir-e-fughan ho kar

mushabah kar diya kyun zoaf ne un ki nazakat se
mujhe khud apne upar rashk aaya na-tawan ho kar

gai raunaq bhi chehre ki hawas-o-aql jate hain
uda sab rang-e-rukh wahshat mein gard-e-karwan ho kar

zamin par sozish-e-gham se girega aasman jal kar
sharar-e-dil chala sar halqa-e-daur-e-fughan ho kar

tasadduq un pe hota hun jo shoale dil se uthte hain
basar karta hun main parwana-e-sham-e-fughan ho kar

fana ho kar kahin mitti hai yarab shorish-e-wahshat
fughan karta hun main zanjir-e-bab-e-la-makan ho kar

khuda samjhe hamari aah-e-sozan se judai mein
ki sari dil ki taqat ud gai munh se dhuan ho kar

dil-e-nalan ne ham-sayon ko bhi dushman kiya apna
raha karte hain hum battis danton mein zaban ho kar

hamesha se 'nazar' hum mahw-e-yaad-e-ru-e-raushan hain
chamak is dard ki rassi se hum dil mein nur-e-jaan ho kar
