hua tulua sitaron ki dilkashi le kar
surur aankh mein nazron mein zindagi le kar

khudi ke hosh udane ba-sad niyaz aaya
nae piyalon mein sahba-e-be-khudi le kar

faza-e-dahr mein gata phira wo prit ke git
nashat-khez-o-sukun-rez bansuri le kar

jahan-e-qalb sarapa-gudaz ban hi gaya
har ek zarra mohabbat ka saz ban hi gaya

jamal-o-husn ke kafir nikhaar se khela
riyaz-e-ishq ki rangin bahaar se khela

payambaron ki kabhi rasm ki ada us ne
gawala ban ke kabhi sabza-zar se khela

baha diye kabhi thokar se prem ke chashme
kabhi jaman kabhi ganga ki dhaar se khela

hansi hansi mein wo dukh-dard jhelta hi raha
karishma-baz zamane se khelta hi raha

kiya zamane ko mamur apne naghmon se
sikhae ishq ke dastur apne naghmon se

sadaqat aur mohabbat ki us ne di talim
andheriyon mein bhara nur apne naghmon se

latafaton se kiya arz-e-hind ko labrez
kasafaton ko kiya dur apne naghmon se

falak ko yaad hain us ahd-e-pak ki baaten
wo bansuri wo mohabbat ki sanwli raaten

dilon mein rang-e-mohabbat ko ustuwar kiya
sawad-e-hind ko gita se naghma-bar kiya

jo raaz koshish-e-nutq-o-zaban se khul na saka
wo raaz apni nigahon se aashkar kiya

udasiyon ko nai zindagi ata kar di
har ek zarre ko dil de ke be-qarar kiya

jo mashrab us ka na is tarah aam ho jata
jahan se mahw mohabbat ka nam ho jata
