wo zakat-e-daulat-e-sabr bhi mere chand ashkon ke nam se
wo nazar-guzar ki sharab thi jo chhalak gai mere jam se

meri chashm-e-shauq mein kaif-e-dil jo bhara tha khun ke nam se
wahi shoala ban ke bhadak utha wahi phut nikla hai jam se

koi raat aankhon mein kat li koi tare gin ke guzar di
yahi marte marte hawas rahi main kabhi to so rahun sham se

badi dil-fareb hai dastan tera zikr aur mera bayan
wo dahan dahan wo zaban zaban jo hai aashna tere nam se

mujhe kya zarurat-e-chaara-gar isi ek dawa mein hain do asar
kabhi mar-mita tere nam par kabhi ji utha tere nam se

mujhe waiz apni lagi hai dhun koi phul aatish-e-tar ka chun
mere dard-e-dil ki hadis sun kabhi chhed kar lab-e-jam se

jo azal mein tha wahi nur hai ki charagh-e-mahfil-e-tur hai
koi rahne wala zarur hai mere dil mein dard ke nam se

jo tadap thi kal wahi aaj hai yahi mere dil ka ilaj hai
meri zindagi bhi 'siraj' hai isi iztirab-e-dawam se
