sabza baala-e-zaqan dushman hai khalqullah ka
rah-rawon ki maut hai khas-posh hona chah ka

mil bithana hai falak manzur kis dil-khwah ka
burj-e-mizan mein nahin be-wajh aana mah ka

bas ki phirta hai khayal aankhon mein us dil-khwah ka
rang-ru ke udne mein aalam hai gard-e-rah ka

safha-e-dil se uthaun kis tarah naqsh-e-sanam
mulk mein hota kisi ke ghar nahin allah ka

kam-bizaat se khayal-e-kham hai kasrat ko faiz
iktifa karta nahin lashkar ko pani chah ka

rah-e-hasti mein hai rukhsar-e-sanam se zindagi
taza-dam karta musafir ko hai takiya rah ka

lash bhi galiyon mein khinchwa kar kiya hai qatl-e-yar
tul hi dena maza hai qissa-e-kotah ka

past fitrat se siwae ranj kuchh hasil nahin
pa-ba-gil kashti ko kar deta hai pani thah ka

chhod kar ishq-e-sanam zahid na ho maftun-e-hur
kab yaqin lata hai dana dur ki afwah ka

dil ko abru-e-sanam ka shefta karti hai aankh
dars deta hai moallim pahle bismillah ka

ai sanam banda-nawazi hai sifat allah ki
haif hai khali phire sail teri dargah ka

mail-e-mashuqa-e-khusraw na ho ai kohkan
sher ke jhute ko khana kaam hai rubah ka

josh ashk-e-atishin ka bais aah-e-sard hai
garm karti hai hawa jade ki pani chah ka

naza mein aaya na baalin par mere yar is liye
aakhir-e-har-mah hai mamul chhupna mah ka

hun wo abtar tifl jis ko jaan khona khel hai
kunj-e-marqad hai gharaunda meri bazi-gah ka

aasman ru-e-zamin hai yar mah-e-chaar-dah
halqa-e-ahbab gird us ke hai haala mah ka

wo dahan hai chashma-e-shirin tabassum mauj hai
wo zaqan hai chah khal us mein tawa hai chah ka

na-tawan meri tarah se hai jo ishq-e-husn se
koh se bhaari taraazu mein ho palla kah ka

sher kahta hun main ai 'atish' khuda ki hamd mein
meri har ek bait par aalam hai baitullah ka
