shab-e-firaq mein main nala-o-fughan karta
to sun ke sara jahan shor-e-al-aman karta

jahan mein kis liye main ulfat-e-butan karta
do-roza umr ko kyon apni raegan karta

main aap apne ko karta zamin ka paiwand
jo yaad sohbat-e-yaran-e-raftagan karta

kunisht-o-dair-o-haram mein na dekha jalwa tera
tujhe talash meri jaan phir kahan karta

zarur aankh mein un ke bhi ashk bhar aate
jo un se sadma-e-furqat ko main bayan karta

jo hota dasht-e-junun mein kabhi guzar mera
zarur daman-e-sahra bhi dhajjiyan karta

jhapakti khanjar-e-khun-khwar se na aankh meri
hazar martaba qatil jo imtihan karta

wo sakht-jaan tha ki aari use bana deta
gale pe meri jo khanjar koi rawan karta

buton ke hijr mein jalta jo barhaman ka dil
to shor surat-e-naqus har-zaban karta

kabhi na naqa-e-laila ko tez le jata
khayal-e-qais-e-hazin kuchh jo sarban karta

ujad dekh ke gulshan ko khub rota main
guzar khizan mein agar su-e-bostan karta

jo phul todta shakhon se mausam-e-gul mein
sitam ye bulbul-e-mahzun pe baghban karta

butan-e-dair se karta agar mohabbat main
tamam umr ke aamal raegan karta

hamare qatl ko qatil na khinchta khanjar
dikha ke abru-e-khamdar nim-jaan karta

phansa ke dam mein sayyaad mujh se bulbul ko
ujad bagh mein phir mera aashiyan karta

bahaar aate hi pir-e-mughan-e-dariya-dil
zarur dukhtar-e-raz nazr-e-mai-kashan karta

tamam umr ganwai gunah karne mein
khuda se khak 'wafa' khwahish-e-jinan karta
