tere huzur na khali kisi ka jam raha
wo khush-nasib to main hun ki tishna-kaam raha

alam-nasib raha aur talkh-kaam raha
magar fareb-e-mohabbat ka ehtiram raha

sharab-e-ishq se labrez jis ka jam raha
wo zindagi ki tag-o-dau mein shad-kaam raha

mazaq-e-did sar-e-tur tishna-kaam raha
tamam ho ke ye afsana na-tamam raha

na subh-e-nur ka jalwa na kaif-e-sham raha
bala-nasib chaman mein bhi zer-e-dam raha

mujhe na dijiye tane ki sakht-jaan hun main
ye zindagi hai ki jina mujhe haram raha

na ras aaegi ai baghban bahaar ise
agar chaman ka yahi rukh yahi nizam raha

samajh sakega mere zarf-e-baada-khwari ko
jo mai-kade mein kabhi shaikh ka qiyam raha

khud apne dil mein tajalli ko pa liya hum ne
kalim-e-tur se afzal to ye maqam raha

wafa-shiar nahin hum magar qusur muaf
wo kaun hai sar-e-fihrist jis ka nam raha
