khote hain agar jaan to kho lene de

karte nahin kuchh to kaam karna kya aae

tu hath ko jab hath mein le leti hai

har saz se hoti nahin ye dhun paida

kahti hain yahi teri nigahen ai dost

pate jaana hai aur na khote jaana

amrit wo halahal ko bana deti hai

aa ja ki khaDi hai sham parda ghere

aankhen hain ki paigham mohabbat wale

aawaz pe sangit ka hota hai bharam

har sans mein gulzar se khil jate the

ai mani-e-kainat mujh mein aa ja

rakhsha-bandhan ki subh ras ki putli

mukhDa dekhen to mah-pare chhup jaen

kya tere KHayal ne bhi chheDa hai sitar

ghunche ko nasim gudgudae jaise

aankhon mein wo ras jo patti patti dho jae

gesu bikhre hue ghaTaen be-KHud

sani nahin tera na koi teri misal

afsurda faza pe jaise chhaya ho hiras

doshiza-e-bahaar muskurae jaise

qatre araq-e-jism ke moti ki laDi

isa ke nafs mein bhi ye ejaz nahin

kis pyar se hoti hai KHafa bachche se

man aur bahan bhi aur chaheti beTi

ai rup ki laxmi ye jalwon ka rag

zulfon se fazaon mein adahaT ka saman

mahtab mein surKH anar jaise chhuTe

chaDhti hui naddi hai ki lahraati hai

gul hain ki ruKH-e-garm ke hain angare

yun ishq ki aanch kha ke rang aur khile

khulta hi nahin husn hai pinhan ki ayan

ye shola-e-husn jaise bajta ho sitar

jab chand ki wadiyon se naghme barsen

ye raaz-o-niyaz aur ye saman KHalwat ka

premi ko buKhaar uTh nahin sakti hai palak

har jalwe se ek dars-e-numu leta hun

komal pad-gamini ki aahaT to suno

sahra mein zaman makan ke kho jati hain

qamat hai ki angDaiyan leti sargam

lachka lachka badan mujassam hai nasim

jis tarah naddi mein ek tara lahrae

wo chehra suta hua wo husn-e-bimar

ban-basiyon mein jalwa-e-gulshan le kar

sote jadu jagane wale din hain

kis darja sukun-numa hain abru ke hilal

sun yug-o-yug ki kahani na uTha

jo rang uDa wo rang aaKHir laya

nikhre badan ka muskurana hai hai

jab raat gae suhag karti hai nigah
