ye raaz kis se bataun ye baat kis se kahun
hadis-e-shauq ka unwan hai ek harf-e-junun

ghubar-e-rah ko manzil ka nam dun kaise
khizan ko subh-e-bahaaran main kis tarah samjhun

jab eatibar nahin khud nigah par apni
main kam-nigahi-e-saqi ka zikr kaise karun

tamam umr isi intizar mein guzri
main un se harf-e-tamanna abhi kahun na kahun

ada ada mein kisi ki payam-o-shauq-o-talab
nazar nazar mein kisi ki fasana-o-afsun

na ham-jalis hi rahbar na ham-qadam rahi
main kis ko khizr kahun kis ko raazdan samjhun

chaman ko lut rahe hain chaman ke rakhwale
koi batae main saz-e-bahaar kya chhedun
