tumhaare jashn ko jashn-e-farozan hum nahin kahte
lahu ki garm bundon ko charaghan hum nahin kahte

agar had se guzar jae dawa to ban nahin jata
kisi bhi dard ko duniya ka darman hum nahin kahte

nazar ki intiha koi na dil ki intiha koi
kisi bhi husn ko husn-e-farawan hum nahin kahte

kisi aashiq ke shane par bikhar jae to kya kahna
magar is zulf ko zulf-e-pareshan hum nahin kahte

na bu-e-gul mahakti hai na shakh-e-gul lachakti hai
abhi apne gulistan ko gulistan hum nahin kahte

bahaaron se junun ko har tarah nisbat sahi lekin
shaguft-e-gul ko aashiq ka gareban hum nahin kahte

hazaron sal bite hain hazaron sal bitenge
badal jaegi kal taqdir-e-insan hum nahin kahte
