dil hua hai mira kharab-e-sukhan
dekh kar husn-e-behijab-e-sukhan
bazm-e-maani men sarkhushi hai use
jis kuun hai nashsha-e-sharab-e-sukhan
rah-e-mazmun-e-taza band nahin
ta-qayamat khula hai bab-e-sukhan
jalva-paira ho shahid-e-maani
jab zaban suun uthe naqab-e-sukhan
gauhar us ki nazar men ja na kare
jin ne dekha hai ab-o-tab-e-sukhan
harja-goyan ki baat kyunki sune
jo suna naghma-e-rabab-e-sukhan
hai tiri baat ai nazakat-e-fahm
lauh-e-dibacha-e-kitab-e-sukhan
hai sukhan jag manin adim-ul-misal
juz sukhan niin duja javab-e-sukhan
ai ‘vali’ dard-e-sar kabhu na rahe
jab mile sandal-o-gulab-e-sukhan
