mauj-e-sabā ravāñ huī raqs-e-junūñ bhī chāhiye
ḳhema-e-gul ke paas hī dajla-e-ḳhūñ bhī chāhiye
kashmakash-e-hayāt hai sāda-diloñ kī baat hai
ḳhvāhish-e-marg bhī nahīñ zahr-e-sukūñ bhī chāhiye
zarb-e-ḳhayāl se kahāñ TuuT sakeñgī beḌiyāñ
fikr-e-chaman ke ham-rikāb josh-e-junūñ bhī chāhiye
naġhma-e-shauq ḳhuub thā ek kamī hai mutriba
shola-e-lab kī ḳhair ho soz-e-darūñ bhī chāhiye
itnā karam to kījiye bujhtā kañval na dījiye
zaḳhm-e-jigar ke saath hī dard-e-fuzūñ bhī chāhiye
dekhiye ham ko ġhaur se pūchhiye ahl-e-jaur se
rūh-e-jamīl ke liye hāl-e-zabūñ bhī chāhiye
