shabash ashk-e-gham koi charcha kiye baghair

shabash ashk-e-gham koi charcha kiye baghair
kah di jo baat kahni thi shikwa kiye baghair
banti nahin hai baat taqaza kiye baghair
ya'ni unhin se un ki tamanna kiye baghair


wallah aur jalwon ki badh jae ahmiyat
koi rahe jo samne parda kiye baghair
jata hun rah-e-'ishq mein mardana-war main
barbaadiyon ki koi bhi parwa kiye baghair


tum ko bhi dad deni pade jazb-e-‘ishq ki
mil jao tum jo mujh ko tamanna kiye baghair
banda-nawaz itna hai tum se mujhe lagaw
dil manta nahin tumhein sajda kiye baghair


'rafat' kabhi na hoga mukammal junun-e-‘ishq
tar-e-nafas se har nafas uljha kiye baghair
