yun kaun si chiz hai jo duniya mein nahin

arbab-e-wafa ki jaan-gudazi dekhi

aaghosh mein aa ki kaamrani kar lun

sab sabr-o-shakeb-o-hosh kho deta hun

ye marhala-ha-e-shauq tauba tauba

ye phul chaman ko kya sanwaren saqi

aasan nahin haal-e-dil ayan ho jaana

is niyyat se tang aa ke roe hum log

taskin-e-visal o ranj-e-furqat kya hai

sine mein uchhal rahi hai hasrat meri

dekho shab-e-hijr ki daraazi dekho

ya qalb ko dard mein Dubona sikho

ye shauq-e-sharab-o-jam-o-mina kaisa

ye saz-e-tarab ye shadmani kab tak

hai fitrat-e-zan ramida aahu ki tarah
