husn ko chand jawani ko kanwal kahte hain

jab apne etiqad ke mehwar se haT gaya

har taraf satwat-e-arzang dikhai degi

haalat ki bhigi raat bhi hai jazbaat ka tez alaw bhi

garmi-e-hasrat-e-nakaam se jal jate hain

kiya hai pyar jise humne zindagi ki tarah

dur tak chhae the baadal aur kahin saya na tha

sadme jhelun jaan pe khelun us se mujhe inkar nahin hai

taDapti hain tamannaen kisi aaram se pahle

saya-e-zulf siyah-fam kahan tak pahunche

jaanch-parakh kar dekh chuki tu har munh-bole bhai ko

us ada se bhi hun main aashna tujhe itna jis pe ghurur hai

gareban dar gareban nukta-arai bhi hoti hai

haalat ki ujDi mahfil mein ab koi sulagta saz nahin

sadma to hai mujhe bhi ki tujhse juda hun main
