tu agar ghair hai nazdik-e-rag-e-jaan kyun hai

hijr o visal ki sardi garmi sahta hai

main hun wahshat mein gum main teri duniya mein nahin rahta

dil mar chuka hai ab na masiha bana karo

ye karobar-e-chaman isne jab sambhaala hai

ishq ek hikayat hai sarfarosh duniya ki

shab-e-gham yaad unki aa rahi hai

shab-e-mahtab bhi apni bhari-barsat bhi apni

wo mahfilen wo misr ke bazar kya hue

kis ko mili taskin-e-sahil kis ne sar manjdhaar kiya

ishq jab tak na aas-pas raha

ab ishq se lau lagaenge hum

mera hi ban ke wo but mujhse aashna na hua

teri chashm-e-tarab ko dekhna paDta hai pur-nam bhi

hain bazm-e-gul mein bapa nauha-KHwaniyan kya kya
