dahshat-e-farda nahin hai dosh ka matam nahin
phul meri aankh ka minnat-kash-e-shabnam nahin

tera gham jab dil mein baqi hai to koi gham nahin
subh-e-nazzara se shab-ha-e-judai kam nahin

ishq hai to koi mausam hijr ka mausam nahin
tu nahin to kya tasawwur ki fusun-kari to hai

din ke hangame to hain raaton ki bedari to hai
husn ke chashmon se faiz-e-dilbari jari to hai

safha-e-takhil par yaadon ki gul-kari to hai
kaun sa aalam hai jo didar ka aalam nahin

zehn mein hain zinda wo guzre hue ayyam abhi
jhilmilate hain tasawwur mein wo subh-o-sham abhi

raqs mein paimana hai khali nahin hain jam abhi
dil hai sarmast-e-khumar-e-baada-e-gulfam abhi

ek lamhe ko bhi bazm-e-arzu barham nahin
tere gham se yun qarar-e-zist hai hasil mujhe

chain se na-ashna rakhta hai soz-e-dil mujhe
dard ne jaana hai lutf-e-khas ke qabil mujhe

tu ne kar rakkha tha apne aap se ghafil mujhe
dur hon tujh se to koi chiz bhi mubham nahin
