mujhe to be-sukun sa kar gaya us shokh ka kahna
haqiqat ke taraazu mein kabhi taula hai jazbon ko

mohabbat ke taqaddus ka bharam rakkha kabhi tu ne
kabhi be-sakhta lipta hai mahrum-e-sabahat se

kabhi haal-e-kaji puchha hai mashur-e-qabahat se
kabhi dasht-e-junun pata hai jazbaat-e-iradat se

kabhi sarsar se talkhi ka sabab puchha matanat se
kabhi tarjih di khak-e-chaman par reg-e-sahra ko

gul-o-bulbul se hat kar bhi kabhi dekha hai fitrat ko
gul-o-bulbul baja lekin chaman mein khar bhi to hai

sabahat waqf-e-gulshan hi nahin kohsar bhi to hain
kai poshida az fikr-o-nazar shahkar bhi to hain

ghalat hain nasiya-farsaiyan teri talab teri
teri rahen juda hain ahl-e-dil se ahl-e-hasrat se

tera husn-e-nazar mahdud hai zati maqasid tak
teri ye shapra-chashmi hi tujhe barbaad kar degi
