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

ai mani-e-kainat mujh mein aa ja

har sans mein gulzar se khil jate the

kya tere KHayal ne bhi chheDa hai sitar

mukhDa dekhen to mah-pare chhup jaen

rakhsha-bandhan ki subh ras ki putli

ghunche ko nasim gudgudae jaise

aankhon mein wo ras jo patti patti dho jae

sani nahin tera na koi teri misal

doshiza-e-bahaar muskurae jaise

afsurda faza pe jaise chhaya ho hiras

gesu bikhre hue ghaTaen be-KHud

qatre araq-e-jism ke moti ki laDi

zulfon se fazaon mein adahaT ka saman

ai rup ki laxmi ye jalwon ka rag

isa ke nafs mein bhi ye ejaz nahin

mahtab mein surKH anar jaise chhuTe

kis pyar se hoti hai KHafa bachche se

man aur bahan bhi aur chaheti beTi

yun ishq ki aanch kha ke rang aur khile

ye raaz-o-niyaz aur ye saman KHalwat ka

ye shola-e-husn jaise bajta ho sitar

chaDhti hui naddi hai ki lahraati hai

gul hain ki ruKH-e-garm ke hain angare

lachka lachka badan mujassam hai nasim

khulta hi nahin husn hai pinhan ki ayan

qamat hai ki angDaiyan leti sargam

jis tarah naddi mein ek tara lahrae

wo chehra suta hua wo husn-e-bimar

sun yug-o-yug ki kahani na uTha

ban-basiyon mein jalwa-e-gulshan le kar

sote jadu jagane wale din hain

komal pad-gamini ki aahaT to suno

jab chand ki wadiyon se naghme barsen

premi ko buKhaar uTh nahin sakti hai palak

jo rang uDa wo rang aaKHir laya

jab raat gae suhag karti hai nigah

sahra mein zaman makan ke kho jati hain

har jalwe se ek dars-e-numu leta hun

jis tarah ragon mein KHun-e-saleh ho rawan

aflak pe jab parcham-e-shab lahraya
