wo wasl ki lazzat mein gum hai wo soz-e-judai kya jaane
wo rog paraya kya samjhe wo prit parai kya jaane

parwana-e-husn ka shaidai papi bhanwra ras ka lobhi
chahat ko saudai samjhe us ko harjai kya jaane

mahfil mein jise malum nahin ehsas ki karwat kya shai hai
wo dil ki suni wadi mein gham ki angdai kya jaane

ye khak-alud jawan chehre gul jin ki qasmen khate hain
jo aaraish par marta ho un ki ranai kya jaane

'arif' apna raaz-e-ulfat yun hai jaise munh-band kali
ye bhed zamana kya samjhe ye raaz khudai kya jaane
