vusat-e-bahr-e-ishq kya kahiye
ibtida ho to intiha kahiye
tere jaur-o-jafa ko kya kahiye
naaz kahiye unhen ada kahiye
us sitamgar ko or kya kahiye
saare jhuton ka peshva kahiye
puchhna chahiye tabibon se
dard-e-dil ki hai ye dava kahiye
ham bhi munh men zaban rakhte hain
kuchh samajh kar bura bhala kahiye
ghairon ke samne bula ke mujhe
kahte hain dil ka mudda.a kahiye
na koi yaar hai na hai gham-khvar
kis se ab dil ka majra kahiye
piite hain jo sharab masjid men
aise logon ko parsa kahiye
sharm kya hai mujhe jo kahna ho
samne sab ke barmala kahiye
vo jafa-gar falak sitamgar hai
kise achchha kise bura kahiye
ghair saath aap ke maze luten
ham uthaen jafaen kya kahiye
bhuul kar le gaya su-e-manzil
aise rahzan ko rahnuma kahiye
chaar agar yaar hain to das dushman
raaz dil ka na ja-ba-ja kahiye
jaan se gar gaya koi ashiq
ishq ki is ko ibtida kahiye
kya yahi shart hai mohabbat ki
be-vafaon ko ba-vafa kahiye
shaikh piite hain jo mai-e-ulfat
us ko kis tarah narava kahiye
dil ka siine ka aur jigar ka haal
hai ye vajib juda juda kahiye
haal sunte nahin mira na suno
apne dil ka to majra kahiye
‘mashriqi’ chhodiye buton ka zikr
subh uth kar khuda khuda kahiye
