ye ishq kal tujhe husn-e-jawan mile na mile
na der kar ki ye jins-e-giran mile na mile

buton se mil ke bhi aaram-e-jaan mile na mile
nazar mile to mizaj-e-butan mile na mile

main aaj hi use kyun sarf-e-dil na kar dalun
ye khun ki bund mujhe kal yahan mile na mile

hadis-e-shauq payambar talash kar legi
zaban ki kaun zarurat zaban mile na mile

nigah-e-shauq ne dekha hai ek hasin ufuq
meri jabin ko tera aastan mile na mile

gale laga ke kiya nazr-e-shoala-e-atish
qafas se chhut ke phir aashiyan mile na mile

mata-e-shauq ko ashkon ke sath bhej bhi dun
phir us ke baad koi karwan mile na mile

chalo qubul bhi kar lo mere sujud-e-niyaz
ab un ko aur koi aastan mile na mile

hayat-e-fani-e-'mulla' ki lazzaton ki qasam
bala se zindagi-e-jawedan mile na mile
