zamin tak hi nahin charcha tera ab aasman tak hai
kabhi to soch dil mein jor ki shohrat kahan tak hai

na jaane is qadar sahme hue hain kyon chaman wale
rasai barq-e-sozan ki to mere aashiyan tak hai

meri taqlid se rashk-e-qamar kahte hain sab tum ko
tumhaare husn ka charcha mere husn-e-bayan tak hai

idhar bechaargi mein dil bhi dushman ho gaya apna
udhar jaur-o-jafa mein un ka sathi aasman tak hai

tumhaara bar-e-ehsan bhi uthane ke liye nahin baqi
tumhaare na-tawan ki na-tawani ab yahan tak hai

junun ki kar-farmai ko ye hargiz na samjhegi
rasai aql ki andesha-e-sud-o-ziyan tak hai

sanbhal ja ai dil-e-nadan abhi tak kuchh nahin bigda
abhi to raaz ulfat ka khamoshi ki zaban tak hai

kabhi hai jaan khatre mein kabhi iman khatre mein
buton ki mehrbani mujh pe 'sahir' ab yahan tak hai
