tirgi hai ki unmadti hi chali aati hai
shab ki rag rag se lahu phut raha ho jaise
chal rahi hai kuchh is andaz se nabz-e-hasti
donon aalam ka nasha tut raha ho jaise
raat ka garm lahu aur bhi bah jaane do
yahi tariki to hai ghaza-e-rukhsar-e-sahar
subh hone hi ko hai ai dil-e-betab thahar
abhi zanjir chhanakti hai pas-e-parda-e-saz
mutlaq-ul-hukm hai shiraaza-e-asbab abhi
saghar-e-nab mein aansu bhi dhalak jate hain
laghzish-e-pa mein hai pabandii-e-adab abhi
apne diwanon ko diwana to ban lene do
apne mai-khanon ko mai-khana to ban lene do
jald ye satwat-e-asbab bhi uth jaegi
ye giran-bari-e-adab bhi uth jaegi
khwah zanjir chhanakti hi chhanakti hi rahe
