niind ankhon se udi phuul se khushbu ki tarah
ji bahal jaega shab se tire gesu ki tarah
dosto jashn manao ki bahar aai hai
phuul girte hain har ik shakh se aansu ki tarah
meri ashuftagi-e-shauq men ik husn bhi hai
tere aariz pe machalte hue gesu ki tarah
ab tire hijr men lazzat na tire vasl men lutf
in dinon ziist hai thahre hue aansu ki tarah
zindagi ki yahi qimat hai ki arzan ho jaao
naghma-e-dard liye mauja-e-khushbu ki tarah
kis ko maalum nahin kaun tha vo shakhs ‘alim’
jis ki khatir rahe avara ham aahu ki tarah
