tasawwur mein mere kaba na ab but-khana aata hai
nazar har samt mujh ko jalwa-e-jaanana aata hai

hua hun aisa be-khud ek but-e-kafir ki ulfat mein
ki kabe mein bhi ab mujh ko nazar but-khana aata hai

haqiqat mein numud-e-husn hi hai ishq ka bais
numaish husn ki hoti hai jab parwana aata hai

ye duniya-e-mohabbat bhi ilahi kaisi basti hai
jo aata hai yahan wo hosh se begana aata hai

gareban chaak daman purza purza khak-aluda
nai saj-dhaj nirali shan se diwana aata hai

shab-e-gham maut aati hai na wo aate hain ai 'fazil'
labon par dam nikal jaane ko betabana aata hai
