silsila chhid gaya jab 'yas' ke afsane ka
shama gul ho gai dil bujh gaya parwane ka

ishq se dil ko mila aaina-khane ka sharaf
jagmaga uttha kanwal apne siyah-khane ka

khalwat-e-naz kuja aur kuja ahl-e-hawas
zor kya chal sake fanus se parwane ka

lash kam-bakht ki kabe mein koi phikwa de
kucha-e-yar mein kyun dher ho parwane ka

wae hasrat ki talluq na hua dil ko kahin
na to kabe ka hua main na sanam-khane ka

tishna-lab sath chale shauq mein sae ki tarah
rukh kiya abr-e-bahaari ne jo mai-khane ka

wah kis naz se aata hai tera daur-e-shabab
jis tarah daur chale bazm mein paimane ka

ahl-e-dil mast hue phail gai bu-e-wafa
pairahan chaak hua jab tere diwane ka

sar-e-shorida kuja ishq ki begar kuja
magar allah re dil aap ke diwane ka

dekh kar aaine mein chaak-e-gareban ki bahaar
aur bigda hai mizaj aap ke diwane ka

kya ajab hai jo hasinon ki nazar lag jae
khun halka hai bahut aap ke diwane ka

aap ab sham-e-sahar badh ke gale milti hai
bakht jaga hai badi der mein parwane ka

dil-e-be-hausla takta hai kharidar ki rah
koi gahak nahin tute hue paimane ka

bazm mein subh hui chha gaya ek sannata
silsila chhid gaya jab aap ke afsane ka
