wo wafur-e-lala-o-gul nahin wo nashat-e-qalb-o-nazar nahin
jo iram-ba-kaf thi dam-e-sahar wo bahaar-e-shakh-o-shajar nahin

ye zamana fursat-e-gham agar mujhe de to main bhi dikha sakun
ki tajalliyan mere shauq ki faqat ek raqs-e-sharar nahin

teri yaad bais-e-rahat-e-tapish-e-khayal to hai magar
main hujum-e-shauq ko kya karun mere bas mein dida-e-tar nahin

ye raza-e-yar ka pas hai ki ye sazishen hain hawas ki
mere dil mein soz-e-fughan to hai mere lab pe aah-e-sahar nahin

mera shauq aabla-pa sahi meri rah rah-e-fana sahi
jo tera khayal ho rahbar to andheri raat ka dar nahin

tu kamal-e-shauq se saz utha meri jaan taron ke git ga
teri bazm-gah-e-tarab mein ab kisi dil-jale ka guzar nahin
