ka.abe kā shauq hai na sanam-ḳhāna chāhiye
jānāna chāhiye dar-e-jānāna chāhiye
sāġhar kī aarzū hai na paimāna chāhiye
bas ik nigāh-e-murshid-e-mai-ḳhāna chāhiye
hāzir haiñ mere jaib-o-garebāñ kī dhajjiyāñ
ab aur kyā tujhe dil-e-dīvāna chāhiye
āshiq na ho to husn kā ghar be-charāġh hai
lailā ko qais sham.a ko parvāna chāhiye
parvarda-e-karam se to zebā nahīñ hijāb
mujh ḳhāna-zād-e-husn se pardā na chāhiye
shikva hai kufr ahl-e-mohabbat ke vāste
har ik jafā-e-dost pe shukrāna chāhiye
bāda-kashoñ ko dete haiñ sāġhar ye pūchh kar
kis ko zakāt-e-nargis-e-mastāna chāhiye
'bedam' namāz-e-ishq yahī hai ḳhudā-gavāh
har dam tasavvur-e-ruḳh-e-jānāna chāhiye
