gira raha hai tera shauq shama par tujh ko
mujhe ye dar hai na pahunche kahin zarar tujh ko
farogh-e-shola kahan aur farogh-e-husn kahan
hazar haif ki itni nahin khabar tujh ko
tadap tadap ke jo be-ikhtiyar karta hai
nahin hai aag ke shola se aah dar tujh ko
ye nanhe nanhe par o baal ye sitam ki tapish
mila hai aah qayamat ka kya jigar tujh ko
qarib shama ke aa kar jo thartharaata hai
nahin hai jaan ke jaane ka gham magar tujh ko
milegi khak bhi dhunde na teri mahfil mein
saba udae phiregi dam-e-sahar tujh ko
samajh na shama ko dil soz aafiyat dushman
jala ke aah rahegi ye musht-e-par tujh ko
nahin hai tu abhi soz-o-gudaz ke qabil
nahin hai ishq ki arz o niyaz ke qabil
tapish ye bazm mein fanus par nahin achchhi
ki aag lag ki o be-khabar nahin achchhi
kadi hai aanch mohabbat ki sham-e-mahfil se
lagawten are tufta-jigar nahin achchhi
tadap tadap ke na diwana-war shama pe gir
tapish ye shauq ki, o musht-e-par nahin achchhi
ye jaan-gudazi-e-soz-e-wafa sar-e-mahfil
kahin na ho tere ji ka zarar nahin achchhi
lada na shama se aankhen ki hai udu teri
teri nigah-e-mohabbat-asar nahin achchhi
ye nanhe nanhe paron ki tadap ye betabi
harif-e-shokhi-e-barq-e-nazar nahin achchhi
ye par samet ke fanus par tera girna
ye be-khudi are shorida-sar nahin achchhi
chaman mein chal ki dikhaun bahaar-e-shahid-e-gul
nazar fareb hain naqsh-o-nigar-e-shahid-e-gul
main bul-hawas nahin samjha hai tu ne kya mujh ko
pasand shahid-e-gul ki nahin ada mujh ko
firaqe-e-gul mein main minnta-kash-e-fughan hun daregh
ye dagh-e-soz-e-judai na de khuda mujh ko
dil-e-gudakhta le kar azal se aaya hun
banaya bazm mein hai soz-ashna mujh ko
jale wo bazm mein chup-chap aur main na jalun
baid ishq se hai ho gham-e-fana mujh ko
teri nigah mein jaan-soz hai jo ai bulbul
wo aah aag ka shola hai jaan-faza mujh ko
khula hai tujh pe abhi aah raaz-e-ishq kahan
tu bul-hawas hai, tujhe imtiyaz-e-ishq kahan
