raqs karte jhūmte aur jalte parvāne mile
muskurāte maut ke saa.e meñ dīvāne mile
ahl-e-dil chalne lage jab bhī sū-e-dair-o-haram
muntazir us raah meñ har baar maiḳhāne mile
daur-e-māzī jab charāġh-e-yād se raushan huā
vaqt kī khultī huī har tah meñ afsāne mile
bhuul kar āzār-e-dil hairat meñ patthar ho ga.e
dushmanoñ ke bhes meñ jab jāne-pahchāne mile
ibtidā-e-ishq meñ sarsabz bāġhāt-e-ḳhayāl
intihā-e-ishq meñ ābād dohrāne mile
ālam-e-dīvāngī meñ aa gayā aisā maqām
tū hī tū aayā nazar jab apne begāne mile
kaun se fikr-o-tasavvur meñ piyā karte haiñ 'shauq'
rañg meñ Duube hue sab jām-o-paimāne mile
