tu rahe ye rut rahe ye daur-e-paimana rahe
ta-qayamat saqiya aabaad mai-khana rahe

ek taraf jalta raha parwana sham-e-bazm par
ek taraf hum shama-rukh par ban ke parwana rahe

shor bulbul ka chaman mein hai to kya ai ham-nawa
hum to diwane udate khak-e-virana rahe

kya zara si baat ka tu ne batangad kar diya
tujh se mere yar kis ka kab ko yarana rahe

hum se diwane mein shikwe ki kahan taqat bhala
tohmaten hum par laga kar aap farzana rahe

meri ulfat mein nahin kuchh farq teri baat se
mere lab par tere ghamze ka hi shukrana rahe

kijiye 'diwan' raushan is tarah se nam ko
hashr tak to kam se kam ulfat ka afsana rahe
