wo ram-shiar mera shokh-dida aaya tha
wo ishwa-sanj kashida kashida aaya tha

kiya hai chashm-e-murawwat ne aaj mail-e-mehr
main un ki bazm se kal aabdida aaya tha

jo raaz-e-dil tha wo khalwat mein sab kaha hum ne
koi bhi sath nahin tha jarida aaya tha

wo murgh-e-bismil-e-ulfat fida-e-husn tera
ba-shakl-e-tair-e-rang-e-parida aaya tha

wo tere jazb-e-mohabbat ka shauq-e-mastana
junun-libas gareban darida aaya tha

tumhaara bulbul-e-kashmir shefta shaida
bahaar-e-jalwa liye ek qasida aaya tha

sitam-zarif hain pir-e-mughan bhi mai-khwaro
kahan surur mein 'saqi' na-dida aaya tha
