saf kahte ho magar kuchh nahin khulta kahna

jab se bulbul tu ne do tinke liye

jab se bandha hai tasawwur us ruKH-e-pur-nur ka

puchha na jaega jo watan se nikal gaya

tera kya kaam ab dil mein gham-e-jaanana aata hai

wada-e-wasl aur wo kuchh baat hai

mere bas mein ya to ya-rab wo sitam-shiar hota

gale mein hath the shab us pari se rahen thin

hans ke farmate hain wo dekh ke haalat meri

hain na zindon mein na murdon mein kamar ke aashiq

kaha jo maine ki yusuf ko ye hijab na tha

guzar ko hai bahut auqat thoDi

dil ko tarz-e-nigah-e-yar jatate aae

hai KHamoshi zulm-charKH-e-dew-paikar ka jawab

hum jo mast-e-sharab hote hain
