us ki nazron mein intikhab hua
dil ajab husn se kharab hua

ishq ka sehr kaamyab hua
main tera tu mera jawab hua

har nafas mauj-e-iztirab hua
zindagi kya hui azab hua

jazba-e-shauq kaamyab hua
aaj mujh se unhen hijab hua

main banun kis liye na mast-e-sharab
kyun mujassam koi shabab hua

nigah-e-naz le khabar warna
dard mahbub-e-iztirab hua

meri barbaadiyan durust magar
tu bata kya tujhe sawab hua

ain qurbat bhi ain furqat bhi
hae wo qatra jo habab hua

mastiyan har taraf hain aawara
kaun ghaarat-gar-e-sharab hua

dil ko chhuna na ai nasim-e-karam
ab ye dil rau-kash-e-habab hua

ishq-e-be-imtiyaz ke hathon
husn khud bhi shikast-yab hua

jab wo aae to pesh-tar sab se
meri aankhon ko izn-e-khwab hua

dil ki har chiz jagmaga utthi
aaj shayad wo be-naqab hua

daur-e-hangama-e-nashat na puchh
ab wo sab kuchh khayal o khwab hua

tu ne jis ashk par nazar dali
josh kha kar wahi sharab hua

sitam-e-khas-e-yar ki hai qasam
karam-e-yar be-hisab hua
