ye sawad-e-shahr aur aisa kahan husn-e-malih

jaldi talab-e-bosa pe kije to kahe wah

kisht-e-dil fauj-e-gham ne ki taraj

zahida zohd tu paDha, main ishq

shab KHwab mein jo uske dahan se dahan laga

mil gae the ek bar uske jo mere lab se lab

jab talak hum na chahte the tujhe

aaya tha shab ko chhup ke wo rashk-e-chaman sau aah

kafir hun jo mahram pe bhi hath uske laga ho

chali jati hai tu ai umr-e-rafta

jo aaj chaDhate hain hamein arsh-e-barin par

daur mein kya uske koi naubat-e-ishrat bajae

naseh mere rone ka na mane ho ki aashiq

dosto Tanke na do ehsan Tuk itna karo

puchhi jo us se main dil-e-sad-chaak ki KHabar
