sard hain dil aatish-e-ru-e-nigaran chahiye
shoala-rang-e-bahaar-e-gul-ezaran chahiye

manzil-e-ishq-o-junun ke fasle hain sar-ba-kaf
in kathin rahon mein lutf-e-dast-e-yaran chahiye

kat rahi hai aur kat chukti nahin fasl-e-khizan
tez-tar ek aur tegh-e-nau-bahaaran chahiye

aaj mai-khane mein sehr-e-chashm-e-saqi ke liye
iltifat-e-chashm mast-e-mai-gusaran chahiye

is dil-e-wahshi ki aazadi ka kya kije ilaj
ek kamand-e-gesu-e-yazdan-shikaran chahiye

naghma ban jata hai nala un ki bazm-e-naz mein
un ko khush rakhne ko shor-e-sogwaran chahiye

aasmanon se baraste hain zamin par regzar
aaj phir 'sardar' raqs-e-barq-o-baran chahiye
