aaina kabhi qabil-e-didar na howe
lag rahi jis tarah lala ke sare ban ko aag
KHurshid-ru ke mahr ki jis par nigah ho
zulf-e-dilbar le gai dil ghat se
ai musawwir yaad ki taswir khincha chahiye
bulbula phuTe pe ho jata hai aab
agar sabit-qadam ho ishq mein jiyun shama jal sakiye
sabab kya puchhte ho ishq ki aashufta-haali ka
rishta-e-dam se jaan hai tan mein
soz-e-dil har shab hamein apna hi batlati hai shama
tark KHwahish-e-zar kar kimiya-gari ye hai
gham mera dushman-e-jaani hai kaho ya na kaho
shama ke tere karishme ne dil-afrozi ki
aashiq hue hain jab se hum KHud se ja rahe hain
ye naKHl-e-tak nin mai-kash tere jab mast hote hain
