rulwa ke mujh ko yar gunahgar kar nahin
aankhen hain tar to hon mera daman to tar nahin

ummid-e-wasl se bhi to sadma na kam hua
kya dard jaega jo dawa ka asar nahin

din ko bhi dagh-e-dil ki na kam hogi raushni
ye lau hi aur hai ye charagh-e-sahar nahin

tanha chalen hain marka-e-ishq jhelne
un ki taraf khudai hai koi idhar nahin

khali safai-qalb se behtar hai dagh-e-ishq
kya aib hai ki jis ke muqabil hunar nahin

qatil ki rah dekh le dam bhar na zahr kha
ai dil qaza ko aane de be-maut mar nahin

kyunkar yahan na ek hi karwat pada rahun
hu ka maqam gor ki manzil hai ghar nahin

ran-khan padenge jab kahin dikhlaega wo shakl
be-kisht-e-khun hui ye muhim ho ke sar nahin

aankhen jhapak rahi hain meri barq-e-husn se
pesh-e-nazar ho tum mujhe tab-e-nazar nahin

yaro batao kis taraf aankhen bichhaun main
us shokh ki kidhar ko hai aamad kidhar nahin

banda-nawaz sab hain ruku o sujud mein
taat se ghafil aap ki koi bashar nahin

pariyon ke pas jaun main kyun dil ko bechne
sauda jo mol lun ye mujhe dard-e-sar nahin

dard-e-firaq-e-yar se donon hain be-qarar
qabu mein dil nahin mutahammil jigar nahin

rah-e-adam mein sath rahegi teri hawas
parwa nahin na ho jo koi ham-safar nahin

khalwat-sara-e-yar mein pahunchega kya koi
wo band-o-bast hai ki hawa ka guzar nahin

uthwa ke apni bazm se dil ko mere na tod
pahlu mein de ke ja mujhe barbaad kar nahin

hasti kidhar hai aalam-e-arwah hai kahan
ghaflat-zada hun mujh ko kahin ki khabar nahin

zanjir utar gai tera diwana mar gaya
sannata qaid-khane mein hai shor-o-shar nahin

chandra ke mujh ko bole wo aakhir jo shab hui
faq ho gaya hai rang kisi ka sahar nahin

barpa hai hashr-o-nashr jo raftar-e-yar se
ye kaun sa chalan hai qayamat agar nahin

durr-e-najaf to jism hai us naznin ka
mu-e-najaf mein baal pada hai kamar nahin

didar ka laga ke main aaya hun aasra
ummid-war hun mujhe mayus kar nahin

yaro sitam hua hui aakhir shab-e-visal
sina 'sharaf' ye kut rahe hain gajar nahin
