muskurae wo haal-e-dil sun kar

ibtida-e-ishq hai lutf-e-shabab aane ko hai

jism-e-azadi mein phunki tu ne majburi ki ruh

roz hai dard-e-mohabbat ka nirala andaz

jaur ko jaur bhi ab kya kahiye

jalwa o dil mein farq nahin jalwe ko hi ab dil kahte hain

apni jannat mujhe dikhla na saka tu waiz

shikwa-e-hijr pe sar kaT ke farmate hain

sur-o-mansur-o-tur are tauba

ya kahte the kuchh kahte jab usne kaha kahiye

ruh ghabrai hui phirti hai meri lash par

jawani ko bacha sakte to hain har dagh se waiz

mujh tak us mahfil mein phir jam-e-sharab aane ko hai

hote hain raaz-e-ishq-o-mohabbat isi se fash

kafan ai gard-e-lahad dekh na maila ho jae
