aa ja ki khaDi hai sham parda ghere

aankhen hain ki paigham mohabbat wale

aankhon mein wo ras jo patti patti dho jae

aawaz pe sangit ka hota hai bharam

aflak pe jab parcham-e-shab lahraya

afsurda faza pe jaise chhaya ho hiras

ai mani-e-kainat mujh mein aa ja

ai rup ki laxmi ye jalwon ka rag

amrit wo halahal ko bana deti hai

ban-basiyon mein jalwa-e-gulshan le kar

chaDhti hui naddi hai ki lahraati hai

dhima dhima sa nur jaise tah-e-saz

doshiza-e-bahaar muskurae jaise

gesu bikhre hue ghaTaen be-KHud

ghunche ko nasim gudgudae jaise

gul hain ki ruKH-e-garm ke hain angare

har jalwe se ek dars-e-numu leta hun

har sans mein gulzar se khil jate the

har saz se hoti nahin ye dhun paida

isa ke nafs mein bhi ye ejaz nahin

jab chand ki wadiyon se naghme barsen

jab kirnen himaliya ki choTi gundhen

jab raat gae suhag karti hai nigah

jis tarah asawari ke dil ki dhaDkan

jis tarah naddi mein ek tara lahrae

jis tarah ragon mein KHun-e-saleh ho rawan

jo rang uDa wo rang aaKHir laya

kahti hain yahi teri nigahen ai dost

karte nahin kuchh to kaam karna kya aae

khote hain agar jaan to kho lene de

khulta hi nahin husn hai pinhan ki ayan

kis darja sukun-numa hain abru ke hilal

kis pyar se hoti hai KHafa bachche se

komal pad-gamini ki aahaT to suno

kya tere KHayal ne bhi chheDa hai sitar

lachka lachka badan mujassam hai nasim

mahtab mein surKH anar jaise chhuTe

man aur bahan bhi aur chaheti beTi

mukhDa dekhen to mah-pare chhup jaen

nabh-manDal gunjta hai tere jas se

nikhre badan ka muskurana hai hai

panghaT pe gagariyan chhalakne ka ye rang

pate jaana hai aur na khote jaana

phulon ki suhag sej ye joban ras

premi ko buKhaar uTh nahin sakti hai palak

qamat hai ki angDaiyan leti sargam

qatre araq-e-jism ke moti ki laDi

rakhsha-bandhan ki subh ras ki putli

saghar kaf-e-dast mein surahi ba-baghal

sahra mein zaman makan ke kho jati hain
