zarur chashm-e-tamasha chaman pe naz kare
magar bahaar-o-khizan mein to imtiyaz kare

meri hayat ka maqsad hai sirf lazzat-e-gham
koi ye silsila-e-gham zara daraaz kare

junun ke daur mein ho jis ko shauq-e-gul-chini
chaman mein kaise wo kanton se ehtiraaz kare

yahi hai khaliq-e-jazbaat ka karam shayad
tumhein khushi se hamein gham se sarfaraaz kare

na kijiye kisi gustakhi-e-junun ka malal
kise hai hosh ki farq-e-niyaz-o-naz kare

rah-e-wafa mein tamanna-e-iltifat hai kufr
jo ji mein aae wo husn-e-karishma-saz kare

jabin-e-shauq to rakh di hai main ne dar pe tere
ye tera kaam hai bab-e-karam bhi baz kare

suna hai raaz-e-haqiqat usi hijab mein hai
jo dida-war ho wahi azmat-e-majaz kare

wo koi dil nahin patthar hai asl mein 'ashraf'
jo aadmi ko mohabbat se be-niyaz kare
