laila-e-shauq ki zulfon se ulajh kar main ne
dekh li husn ke aaine mein taswir-e-junun

karwaten leta hai is tarah ye ehsas-e-jamal
jaise girti hui diwar pe ho khizr ka hath

dhime dhime se chali wadi-e-aiman ki hawa
gham ke hathon bhi sanwar jati hai taron-bhari raat

kaun kahta hai ki duniya ko bhula baitha hun
tut sakta hai bhala yun bhi kisi ka pindar

maut ho jaegi pamal inhin rahon mein
laghzish-e-pa mein simat aaya hai wahshi kirdar

jab kabhi gesu-e-mushkin se uthi kali ghata
pahlu-e-shauq se ubhra hai junun ka tufan

shoala-e-barq-o-sharar phul bana kis ke liye
bech aaya hai koi us ki gali mein iman

khwab sa dekh raha hun magar is mahfil se
tod kar jam-o-subu aaj chala aaya hun

mai-e-gul-rang se chhalkaunga har saghar ko
apne hamrah do aalam ka nasha laya hun
