wo pas hai tere dur nahin tu wasil hai mahjur nahin
kyun habl-e-murkkab mein hai phansa mukhtar hai tu majbur nahin

sargarm-e-shauq-o-huzur nahin dil sard hai tu mahrur nahin
jis qalb mein ishq ka nur nahin wo tab-e-jalwa-e-tur nahin

har rang mein hai wo jalwa-numa tu ek hijab mein ja ke chhapa
kyun kor sawad hua hai bata kya aankhon mein tere nur nahin

jo ishq mein bar-sar-e-dar hua sardar wahi sarshaar hua
sarmast visal-e-yar hua kis tarah kahen mansur nahin

jo baatin mein mashghul hue mahbub hue maqbul hue
majhul hue maruf kahan mashhur jo hain manzur nahin

kyun mahw-e-sar-e-pindar hua ai musht-e-khak hai naqsh-e-fana
duniya mein kahan hai rang-e-baqa jamshed nahin maghfur nahin

mastur jo tha manzur hua wo jalwa-e-rang-e-zuhur hua
jo hijab tha rukh se dur hua mushtaq-laqa mahjur nahin

jo aap hua benam-o-nishan us ko hai mila wo jaan-e-jahan
meraj-e-visal hai us ko kahan jo ishq mein chakna-chur nahin

main tera fida-e-sarapa hun main talib-e-wasl-e-muarra hun
mushtaq-o-shaida tera hun main talib-e-hur-o-qusur nahin

makhmur-e-jam-e-baqi hai shaida-e-nawa-e-iraqi hai
sarshaar-e-mohabbat 'saqi' hai sar-mast hai ye mastur nahin
