tu jo kahta hai shab-e-wasl mein har bar nahin
hum samajhte hain ye iqrar hai inkar nahin

kis ke dil mein teri ulfat ka chubha khar nahin
kaun hai wo jo tera talib-e-didar nahin

kufr-o-din kuchh sabab-e-subha-o-zunnar nahin
is se hota koi kafir koi din-dar nahin

apna wo haal hai jo qabil-e-izhaar nahin
wo zaban apni hai jo laeq-e-guftar nahin

kya hai wo ishq ki jis ki na ho shohrat sab mein
kya wo aashiq hai jo ruswa sar-e-bazar nahin

ishq mein ek but-e-kafir ke hamare tan par
kaun si rag hai jo ham-surat-e-zunnar nahin

mashghala dast-e-junun ke liye ab kya hoga
ek bhi apne gareban mein raha tar nahin

bolo aahista shab-e-wasl khuda ko mano
koi bad-khwah khada ho pas-e-diwar nahin

aisi haalat mein ho kyunkar mujhe ummid-e-visal
mere kahne mein wo mashuq-e-tarahdar nahin

ab bulana hai hamein us ka abas ai qasid
tab uthne ki nahin taqat-e-raftar nahin

zist ki baat to hai aur magar zahir mein
maraz-e-ishq se bachne ke kuchh aasar nahin

haal-e-dil apna bayan kis se karun ai 'sabir'
koi monis nahin hamdam nahin gham-khwar nahin
