sada-e-dil hi ko aawaza-e-jahan na kaho
khud apni hadd-e-nazar hi ko aasman na kaho

har ek zarre ko hansta diya banana hai
falak ke chand-sitaron ki dastan na kaho

na lao ya to zaban par hadis-e-nakaami
nahin to apni tamanna ko phir jawan na kaho

ye apna ghar hai chalo is pe tasfiya kar len
qafas kahun na ise main tum aashiyan na kaho

na ittifaq-e-amal hai na ek samt-e-qadam
abhi to bhid hai ye is ko karwan na kaho

khasumaton mein khirad ki jahan sune na sune
mere surud-e-mohabbat ko raegan na kaho

jahan har ek ko sajde ka haq nahin hasil
use khuda-e-mohabbat ka aastan na kaho

ujad bhi jae nasheman to phir nasheman hai
qafas mein phul bhi rakh den to aashiyan na kaho

zamana mujh pe nahin tum pe khanda-zan hoga
tum aaj doston 'mulla' ko nukta-dan na kaho
