wo nala hi nahin jo par-afshan nahin hua
wo dagh-e-dil hi kya jo numayan nahin hua

kab wahshaton se dast-o-gareban nahin hua
kab dil junun ke hath pareshan nahin hua

be-kaifiyon ke kaif mein hum aise mast the
ehsas-e-lazzat-e-gham-e-dauran nahin hua

nok-e-mizha pe qatra-e-ashk aa ke jam gaya
afsos wo bhi raunaq-e-daman nahin hua

meri junun-nawazi-e-paiham ke shaghl se
manus kyun dimagh-e-gulistan nahin hua

tahrik-e-iztirab-e-musalsal to dekhiye
dam-bhar sukun-e-qalb ka saman nahin hua

dil hi nahin wo dil jo haqiqat mein ham-nashin
aaina-dar-e-azzat-e-irfan nahin hua

afsana-e-niyaz ki tamhid kya kahun
zauq-e-wafa bhi zinat-e-unwan nahin hua

tabir jis ki zeb-e-nashat-e-dawam ho
aisa to koi khwab-e-pareshan nahin hua
