wo agar be-hijab ho jata
khalq mein inqalab ho jata

dil se hoti agar dui madum
zarra bhi aaftab ho jata

hashr tak hosh mein na aate 'kalim'
wo agar be-naqab ho jata

aatish-e-ishq ne jigar phunka
dil bhi jal kar kabab ho jata

tum pilate jo hath se apne
har qadah aaftab ho jata

ishq mein lutf hai tadapne ka
ye sukun iztirab ho jata

dil lagana sawab tha lekin
ji chhudana azab ho jata

na lagate buton se dil aasi
na zamana kharab ho jata
