har taraf soz ka andaz judagana hai

ishq-e-sitam-parast kya husn-e-sitam-shiar kya

shauq ko be-adab kiya ishq ko hausla diya

hayat-o-maut ka ek silsila hai

nahin ye jalwa-ha-e-raaz-e-irfan dekhne wale

mere rone par kisi ki chashm giryan hae hae

koi meayar-e-mohabbat na raha mere baad

waraftagi-e-ishq na jae to kya karen

jaise bhi ye duniya hai jo kuchh bhi zamana hai

un ka barbaad-e-karam kahne ke qabil ho gaya

sab kaenat-e-husn ka hasil liye hue

kisi ke naqsh-e-qadam ka nishan nahin milta

kuchh sila hi na mila ishq mein jal jaane ka

mohabbat ki intiha chahta hun
