hadse zist ki tauqir baDha dete hain

ba-qadr-e-josh-e-junun tar tar bhi na kiya

jahan-e-arzu aawaz hi aawaz hota hai

ab ye aalam hai ki gham ki bhi KHabar hoti nahin

tazad-e-jazbaat mein ye nazuk maqam aaya to kya karoge

gham chheDta hai saz-e-rag-e-jaan kabhi kabhi

muddaton humne gham sambhaale hain

ashkon mein husn-e-dost dikhati hai chandni

wo har maqam se pahle wo har maqam ke baad

aalam-e-soz-e-tamanna be-karan karte chalo

talab ki aag kisi shola-ru se raushan hai

dil-e-diwana arz-e-haal par mail to kya hoga

hasti ko apni shola-ba-daman karenge hum

surahi ka bharam khulta na meri tishnagi hoti

hawadis ham-safar apne talatum ham-inan apna
