raqs karte jhumte aur jalte parwane mile
muskuraate maut ke sae mein diwane mile

ahl-e-dil chalne lage jab bhi su-e-dair-o-haram
muntazir us rah mein har bar maikhane mile

daur-e-mazi jab charagh-e-yaad se raushan hua
waqt ki khulti hui har tah mein afsane mile

bhul kar aazar-e-dil hairat mein patthar ho gae
dushmanon ke bhes mein jab jaane-pahchane mile

ibtida-e-ishq mein sarsabz baghat-e-khayal
intiha-e-ishq mein aabaad dohrane mile

aalam-e-diwangi mein aa gaya aisa maqam
tu hi tu aaya nazar jab apne begane mile

kaun se fikr-o-tasawwur mein piya karte hain 'shauq'
rang mein dube hue sab jam-o-paimane mile
