ras mein duba hua lahraata badan kya kahna
karwaten leti hui subh-e-chaman kya kahna

nigah-e-naz mein ye pichhle pahar rang-e-khumar
nind mein dubi hui chandr-kiran kya kahna

bagh-e-jannat pe ghata jaise baras ke khul jae
ye suhani teri khushbu-e-badan kya kahna

thahri thahri si nigahon mein ye wahshat ki kiran
chaunke chaunke se ye aahu-e-khutan kya kahna

rup sangit ne dhaara hai badan ka ye rachaw
tujh pe lahlut hai be-sakhta-pan kya kahna

jaise lahrae koi shoala-kamar ki ye lachak
sar-ba-sar aatish-e-sayyal badan kya kahna

jis tarah jalwa-e-firdos hawaon se chhine
pairahan mein tere rangini-e-tan kya kahna

jalwa-o-parde ka ye rang dam-e-nazzara
jis tarah adh-khule ghunghat mein dulhan kya kahna

dam-e-taqrir khil uthte hain gulistan kya kya
yun to ek ghuncha-e-nauras hai dahan kya kahna

dil ke aaine mein is tarah utarti hai nigah
jaise pani mein lachak jae kiran kya kahna

lahlahata hua ye qad ye lahakta joban
zulf so mahki hui raaton ka ban kya kahna

tu mohabbat ka sitara to jawani ka suhag
husn lau deta hai lal-e-yaman kya kahna

teri aawaz sawera teri baaten tadka
aankhen khul jati hain ejaz-e-sukhan kya kahna

zulf-e-shab-gun ki chamak paikar-e-simin ki damak
dip-mala hai sar-e-gang-o-jaman kya kahna

nilgun shabnami kapdon mein badan ki ye jot
jaise chhanti ho sitaron ki kiran kya kahna
