shanasa-e-rumuz-e-fitrat-e-gham hoti jati hai

shanasa-e-rumuz-e-fitrat-e-gham hoti jati hai
nishat-o-kaif se bhi aankh pur-nam hoti jati hai
main jitna chhedta jata hun apne barbat-e-dil ko
meri aawaz ab utni hi maddham hoti jati hai


machalti hai nasim-e-subh se aaghosh mein paiham
gulon se kis qadar be-bak shabnam hoti jati hai
ye kaise jam hain saqi ki jitni pita jata hun
meri tishna-labi utni hi barham hoti jati hai


ilahi kaun aaya hai bahaaren le ke zindan mein
nazar meri sarapa khair-maqdam hoti jati hai
sitam ke sath kuchh un ka karam hai mujh par ai 'mutrib'
mohabbat ab nishat-o-gham ka sangam hoti jati hai
