ai hama-rang hama-nur hama-soz-o-gudaz
bazm-e-mahtab se aane ki zarurat kya thi
tu jahan thi usi jannat men nikharta tira ruup
is jahannam ko basane ki zarurat kya thi
ye khad-o-khal ye khvabon se tarasha hua jism
aur dil jis pe khad-o-khal ki narmi bhi nisar
khaar hi khaar sharare hi sharare hain yahan
aur tham tham ke utha paanv baharon ki bahar
tishnagi zahr bhi pi jaati hai amrit ki tarah
jaane kis jaam pe ruk jaae nigah-e-maasum
dubte dekha hai jin ankhon men mai-khana bhi
pyaas un ankhon ki bujhe ya na bujhe kya maalum
hain sabhi husn-parast ahl-e-nazar sahib-e-dil
koi ghar men koi mahfil men sajaega tujhe
tu faqat jism nahin sher bhi hai giit bhi hai
kaun ashkon ki ghani chhanv men gaega tujhe
tujh se ik dard ka rishta bhi hai bas pyaar nahin
apne anchal pe mujhe ashk baha lene de
tu jahan jaati hai jaa, rokne vaala main kaun
apne raste men magar shama jala lene de
