hum hain mata-e-kucha-o-bazar ki tarah

jab hua irfan to gham aaram-e-jaan banta gaya

hum ko junun kya sikhlate ho hum the pareshan tum se ziyaada

koi ham-dam na raha koi sahaara na raha

yun to aapas mein bigaDte hain KHafa hote hain

jala ke mishal-e-jaan hum junun-sifat chale

aah-e-jaan-soz ki mahrumi-e-tasir na dekh

mujhe sahl ho gain manzilen wo hawa ke ruKH bhi badal gae

masarraton ko ye ahl-e-hawas na kho dete

ye ruke ruke se aansu ye dabi dabi si aahen

ab ahl-e-dard ye jine ka ehtimam karen

su-e-maqtal ki pae sair-e-chaman jate hain

mujhse kaha jibril-e-junun ne ye bhi wahi-e-ilahi hai

go raat meri subh ki mahram to nahin hai

dushman ki dosti hai ab ahl-e-watan ke sath

hamein shuur-e-junun hai ki jis chaman mein rahe

aa hi jaegi sahar matla-e-imkan to khula

aa nikal ke maidan mein do-ruKHi ke KHane se

ahl-e-tufan aao dil-walon ka afsana kahen

taqdir ka shikwa be-mani jina hi tujhe manzur nahin

nigah-e-saqi-e-na-mehrban ye kya jaane

Dara ke mauj o talatum se ham-nashinon ko

aaKHir gham-e-jaanan ko ai dil baDh kar gham-e-dauran hona tha

chaman hai maqtal-e-naghma ab aur kya kahiye

dast-e-pur-KHun ko kaf-e-dast-e-nigaran samjhe

wo to gaya ye dida-e-KHun-bar dekhiye

ba-nam-e-kucha-e-dildar gul barse ki sang aae

dast-e-munim meri mehnat ka KHaridar sahi

ada-e-tul-e-suKHan kya wo iKHtiyar kare

KHanjar ki tarah bu-e-saman tez bahut hai

KHatm shor-e-tufan tha dur thi siyahi bhi

jalwa-e-gul ka sabab dida-e-tar hai ki nahin

aabla-pa koi guzra tha jo pichhle san mein

hon jo sare dast o pa hain KHun main nahlae hue

mere pichhe ye to muhaal hai ki zamana garm-e-safar na ho

junun-e-dil na sirf itna ki ek gul pairahan tak hai

jis dam ye suna hai subh-e-watan mahbus faza-e-zindan mein

is bagh mein wo sang ke qabil kaha na jae

jo samjhate bhi aa kar waiz-e-barham to kya karte

dur dur mujhse wo is tarah KHiraman hai

wo jis pe tumhein sham-e-sar-e-rah ka guman hai

sikhaen dast-e-talab ko ada-e-bebaki
