hai be-lab-o-zaban bhi ghul tere naam ka
mahram nahin hai gosh magar is payam ka
khush hai malamat ahl-e-kharabat kai liye
is silsile men naam nahin nang-o-nam ka
nakhvat hai jis ke kasa-e-sar men bhari hui
kab mustahiq hai mahfil rindan men jaam ka
jagir-e-dard par hamen sarkar-e-ishq ne
tahrir kar diya hai vasiqa davam ka
vadi-e-ishq men na mila koi ham-safar
sunte the naam khizr alaihis-salam ka
asudgi na dhund ki jaata hai karvan
le mustaar barq se vaqfa qayam ka
khola hai mujh pe sirr-e-haqiqat majaz ne
ye pukhtagi sila hai khayalat-e-kham ka
khata nahin fareb-e-tamanna-e-do-jahan
khugar nahin hai tausan-e-himmat lagam ka
mat rakh tamaa se chashm-e-tamatto ki hai yahan
daana har ek mardumak-e-dida-dam ka
pahuncha diya hudud-e-do-alam se bhi pare
mutrib ne raag chhed diya kis maqam ka
zulmat men kya tamiz safed-o-siyah ki
furqat men kuchh hisab nahin subh-o-sham ka
jis ki nazar hai sanat-e-abru-nigar par
hai vo qatil-e-tegh na kushta niyam ka
khane ko ai haris gham-e-ishq kam nahin
ye ho to kuchh bhi fikr na kar qarz-o-vam ka
main be-qarar-e-manzil-e-maqsud be-nishan
raste ki intiha na thikana maqam ka
gar dekhiye to khatir-e-nashad shaad hai
sach puchhiye to hai dil-e-nakam kaam ka
utthe tiri naqab to uth jaae ek baar
sab tafraqa ye roz-o-shab-o-subh-o-sham ka
