ghuncha-o-gul ki nikhat churai gai
bijliyon ki hararat churai gai

gulistan ki hawaon ko dhunka gaya
bulbulon ki sadaon ko dhunka gaya

barf ko barq paron ko pisa gaya
abr ko chand taron ko pisa gaya

kohsar-o-gulistan tarashe gae
lal-o-yaqut-o-marjaan tarashe gae

chandni-raat ka husn chhina gaya
kahkashan ke piyale mein gundha gaya

zindagani ke rukhsar dhoe gae
shadmani ke moti piroe gae

aahani shahrahen galai gain
shabnami shahrahen bichai gain

mah-e-nau ki shuaon ko chhana gaya
aasmanon zaminon ko dhoya gaya

zamzamon ke samundar khanghaale gae
aarzuon ke moti nikale gae

dil-nawazi ka jazba ubhaara gaya
naujawani ka chehra nikhaara gaya

shakh-e-gul ki nazakat ubaali gai
narm banhon ke sanche mein dhaali gai

aur phir sab ko ek ja milaya gaya
gundh kar ek putla banaya gaya

muddaton chand-taron mein pala gaya
phir wo aurat ke sanche mein dhaala gaya

har kali bagh mein raqs karne lagi
zehn mein koi surat ubharne lagi

ek aawaz aai ki aurat hun main
barq hun zalzala hun qayamat hun main

sun ke aawaz sajde mein sab jhuk gae
aandhiyan tham gain zalzale ruk gae

chudiyan si hawa mein khanakne lagin
chhagalen si faza mein chhanakne lagin

shiddat-e-shauq se aag pani hui
kohsaron ki poshak dhani hui

narm shakhen chaman mein lachakne lagin
aarzuon ki kaliyan chatakne lagin

phir wo aawaz ghunghat se aane lagi
shiddat-e-shauq ko aazmane lagi

aur ghunghat jo rukh se sarakne laga
aadmi kya khuda bhi bahakne laga

zulf bikhri to shab ka andhera hua
muskurai to pahla sawera hua

aankh bikhri to shab ka andhera hua
muskurai to pahla sawera hua

aankh uthai to moti se barsa gai
sans li to har ek shai mein jaan aa gai

barbat-e-gham se naghme nikalne lage
zindagani ke chashme ubalne lage

ishq ne badh ke qadmon pe sajda kiya
dahr ki samt use phir rawana kiya
