dilon ka soz tire ru-e-be-naqab ki aanch
tamam garmi-e-mahfil tire shabab ki aanch
savab-e-khuld-e-barin kya azab-e-dozakh kya
tire khitab ki thandak tire itaab ki aanch
harim-e-ishq ke pardon se lau nikalti hai
ye soz-o-saz hai kis naghma-e-rabab ki aanch
lahakte sabze men abr-e-bahar ki masti
dahakte phuul men chhalki hui sharab ki aanch
ye kaif-e-husn ye barq-e-nigah kya kahna
laga de aag na us daman-e-sahab ki aanch
chadha ke saghar-e-mai jagmaga uthe chehre
simat ke aa gai sinon men aftab ki aanch
panah maang rahi hai hari-bhari duniya
na puchh ah-dil-e-kha-numan-kharab ki aanch
ye agle vaqton ke hain khush hain bagh-e-jannat men
unhen khabar hi nahin kya hai is savab ki aanch
ye aa gaya hai yahan kaun kafir-e-maasum
ki thandi pad gai dozakh ke bhi azaab ki aanch
jise samajhte hain sab mauj-e-kausar-o-tasnim
vo aaina bhi hai tapte hue sarab ki aanch
sahar ki taza-dami chadhti dhuup ki garmi
tiri nigah ki thandak tire shabab ki aanch
ruki ruki si lab-e-shauq par hai arz-e-visal
ki phunk de na tire zauq-e-intikhab ki aanch
yahi hai raunaq-e-garmi yahi hai raunaq-e-bazm
nigah-e-naz tire zauq-e-intikhab ki aanch
ye raat aag laga de kahin na duniya men
ye chandni ye havaen ye mahtab ki aanch
shuaen phuut ke jaise faza men gum ho jaaen
chhalakte jaam men ye chashmak-e-habab ki aanch
savar-e-ablaq-e-ayyam mausam-e-gul hai
chaman ke shoale hain ya halqa-e-rakab ki aanch
ye mehr-o-mah bhi udte hue sharare hain
ki arsh tak hai mohabbat ke pech-o-tab ki aanch
samet rakkhe hain ruhul-qudus ne par apne
pahunch rahi hai kahan tak is iztirab ki aanch
‘firaq’ vaqt ke rukh se ulat rahi hai naqab
zamin se ta-ba-falak hai is inqalab ki aanch
