ai ki dil tera hai fikr-e-baada-e-gulfam mein
zahr bhi hota hai aksar khubsurat jam mein

ai ki sine mein tere arman-e-gul hai be-qarar
dekhna bedad-e-nok-e-khar se bhi hoshiyar

is sukut-e-arzi par khush na ho jaana kahin
tu ne madd-o-jazr maujon ka abhi dekha nahin

kar na de khira teri nazron ko tazin-e-ghilaf
han isi parde mein hai ek tegha-e-khara-shigaf

bais-e-dil-bastagi alfaz ka jadu na ho
dekh lafzon mein nihan dam ka koi pahlu na ho

hai teri tishna-labi ko aarzu-e-ju-e-ab
justuju teri na ho warafta-e-dasht-e-sarab

hai nazar-afroz agarche jalwa-e-barq-e-tapan
khirman-e-dahqan se lekin puchh us ki dastan

aag se bach kaam mein la quwwat-e-tamiz ko
kah nahin sakte hain sona har chamakti chiz ko

shoala-e-be-bak bhi hai matla-e-anwar bhi
shama ki fitrat mein ghafil nur bhi hai nar bhi

khubi-e-aghaz hi par dil na ho jae nihan
talkhi-e-anjam ka bhi dil mein kar leta khayal

pi na jaana baada-e-ishrat ka jam-e-khush-gawar
hai bahut taklif-dah aaza-shikan is ka khumar

zahiri haalat pe hargiz kar na baatin ka qayas
khubi-e-tan par dalalat kar nahin sakta libas

hai dil-e-sada tera warafta-e-husn-e-hijab
zisht-rui ka kahin parda na ho rangin naqab

ho na jae mo'taqid dil zahiri tanwir ka
dekh lena dusra rukh bhi zara taswir ka
