khote hain agar jaan to kho lene de

har saz se hoti nahin ye dhun paida

tu hath ko jab hath mein le leti hai

karte nahin kuchh to kaam karna kya aae

aa ja ki khaDi hai sham parda ghere

amrit wo halahal ko bana deti hai

aawaz pe sangit ka hota hai bharam

pate jaana hai aur na khote jaana

ai mani-e-kainat mujh mein aa ja

aankhon mein wo ras jo patti patti dho jae

har sans mein gulzar se khil jate the

kahti hain yahi teri nigahen ai dost

afsurda faza pe jaise chhaya ho hiras

aankhen hain ki paigham mohabbat wale

doshiza-e-bahaar muskurae jaise

mukhDa dekhen to mah-pare chhup jaen

ghunche ko nasim gudgudae jaise

sani nahin tera na koi teri misal

ai rup ki laxmi ye jalwon ka rag

isa ke nafs mein bhi ye ejaz nahin

ye shola-e-husn jaise bajta ho sitar

zulfon se fazaon mein adahaT ka saman

ye raaz-o-niyaz aur ye saman KHalwat ka

rakhsha-bandhan ki subh ras ki putli

kya tere KHayal ne bhi chheDa hai sitar

ban-basiyon mein jalwa-e-gulshan le kar

wo chehra suta hua wo husn-e-bimar

lachka lachka badan mujassam hai nasim

sahra mein zaman makan ke kho jati hain

man aur bahan bhi aur chaheti beTi

yun ishq ki aanch kha ke rang aur khile

komal pad-gamini ki aahaT to suno

chaDhti hui naddi hai ki lahraati hai

gesu bikhre hue ghaTaen be-KHud

kis pyar se hoti hai KHafa bachche se

jis tarah naddi mein ek tara lahrae

har jalwe se ek dars-e-numu leta hun

mahtab mein surKH anar jaise chhuTe

sar-ta-ba-qadam ruKH-e-nigarin hai ki tan

khulta hi nahin husn hai pinhan ki ayan

jis tarah ragon mein KHun-e-saleh ho rawan

gul hain ki ruKH-e-garm ke hain angare

sote jadu jagane wale din hain

kis darja sukun-numa hain abru ke hilal

nikhre badan ka muskurana hai hai

qatre araq-e-jism ke moti ki laDi

wo peng hai rup mein ki bijli lahrae

aflak pe jab parcham-e-shab lahraya

sun yug-o-yug ki kahani na uTha

jo rang uDa wo rang aaKHir laya
