jo nakab-e- rukh ulat di tu yh khaid bhi lagadi
uthe her nigha lekin koi baam tek na pohnche

jab gulistan ko khoon ki zarurat padi sub se pahle hamari hi gardan kati
phir bhi kahte hain ham se ye ahal-e- chaman ya chaman hai hamara tumhara nahi

baat karni mujhe muskil kabhi aesi tu na thi
jesi ab hai teri mahfil kabhi aesi tu na thi

kloos-e- dil se sajda ho tu us sajde ka kya kahna
waheen qaba sarak aaya jabeen main ne jahan rakh di

laon wo tinke kahan se aashiyane ke liye
bijliyan bechain hain jinke jalane ke liye

jub bhi aata hai mera naam tere naam ke saath
jane kyun loog mere naam se jel jate hain

pakde jate hain farishtoon ke likhey per nahiq
aadmi koi hamara dame-e- tahreer bhi tha

baaj-e-bihishet se mujhe hukum-e-safer diya tha qun?
kaar-e-jahan daraz hai ab mera intizar ker?

agar kaj ro hain anjum aasman tera hai ya mera ?
mujhe fikre jahan qun ho jahan tera hai ya mera?

use subhe azal inkar ki jurat hui qunkar ?
mujhe maloom kya wo razdan tera hai ya mera?

agar hangama hai shoq se hai lamakan khali
khata kiski hai yarab lamakan tera hai ya mera

ay tahir-e-lahoti hai us rizeq se mout achi
jis rizaq se aati ho parwaz main kotai

dekh zindan se pare rang-e- chaman josh-e-bahar
raks karna ho tu phir paon ki zanjeer na dekh

derty hain chasham o.zulf.o.nigaha.o.ada se hum
her dam panaha maangty hain her balaa se hum

darey gum se jo gum utthane se pahley
vo doobey talaatum ke aaney se pahley
