husn ko bad-guman rahne de
raaz-e-dil raaz-dan rahne de

nigah-e-nim kash ki umr daraaz
naubat ek darmiyan rahne de

hasrat-e-unfawan-e-raaz-o-niyaz
ruh par hukmaran rahne de

ishq ki kaenat hai hirman
aarzu ka ziyan rahne de

naqsh-e-na-kuda ke tasawwur ka
ye mita sa nishan rahne de

qismat-e-ishq to hai qismat-e-ishq
bare mannat ki shan rahne de

na-saza-wariyon ka kya kahna
bas inhen mehrban rahne de

han mujhe khud hai e'tiraf-e-shikast
ab mera imtihan rahne de

wada-e-shauq tha fareb-amez
bas use raegan rahne de

dost kis kis ka tha dil-e-be-dost
ye zubun dastan rahne de

hadiye kya kya diye the kis kis ko
sharh ye qissa-khwan rahne de

mere tahtush-shuur ki duniya
tah-nashin aur nihan rahne de

rahi kin gul-rukhon se sheftagi
ab ye shewa bayan rahne de

bhul phulon ki pyar shahin ka
swang ye gul-fishan rahne de

hai jahan gard aur hijaz-parast
la-ubaali jawan rahne de

ghayat-e-ashiqi hawas-kari
hai baja meri jaan rahne de

shauq tha shauq ta-ghubar-e-guman
mit chuka wo jahan rahne de
