ai dil wo aashiqi ke fasane kidhar gae

kuchh to tanhai ki raaton mein sahaara hota

kya kah gai kisi ki nazar kuchh na puchhiye

wo kabhi mil jaen to kya kijiye

kaam aa sakin na apni wafaen to kya karen

mohabbat ki duniya mein mashhur kar dun

un ko bulaen aur wo na aaen to kya karen

aarzu wasl ki rakhti hai pareshan kya kya

kis ko dekha hai ye hua kya hai

main aarzu-e-jaan likhun ya jaan-e-arzu!

na bhul kar bhi tamanna-e-rang-o-bu karte

un ras bhari aankhon mein haya khel rahi hai

mujhe apni pasti ki sharm hai teri rifaton ka KHayal hai

agar wo apne hasin chehre ko bhul kar be-naqab kar de

tamannaon ko zinda aarzuon ko jawan kar lun

wo kahte hain ranjish ki baaten bhula den

yun to kis phul se rangat na gai bu na gai

aashna ho kar taghaful aashna kyun ho gae

na chheD zahid-e-nadan sharab pine de

us mah-jabin se aaj mulaqat ho gai

nikhat-e-zulf se nindon ko basa de aa kar

ashk-bari na miTi sina-figari na gai

aao be-parda tumhein jalwa-e-pinhan ki qasam

yaro ku-e-yar ki baaten karen

na tumhaara husn jawan raha na hamara ishq jawan raha

kis ki aankhon ka liye dil pe asar jate hain

wada us mah-ru ke aane ka

jhum kar badli uThi aur chha gai

meri aankhon se zahir KHun-fishani ab bhi hoti hai

KHayalistan-e-hasti mein agar gham hai KHushi bhi hai

gham-KHana-e-hasti mein hai mehman koi din aur

la pila saqi sharab-e-arghawani phir kahan

meri sham-e-gham ko wo bahla rahe hain

yaad aao mujhe lillah na tum yaad karo

yaqin-e-wada nahin tab-e-intizar nahin

bahaar aai hai mastana ghaTa kuchh aur kahti hai

na wo KHizan rahi baqi na wo bahaar rahi

gham-e-zamana nahin ek azab hai saqi

umr-bhar ki talKH bedari ka saman ho gain

sama kar dil mein nazron se nihan hai

su-e-kalkatta jo hum ba-dil-e-diwana chale

hamare hath mein kab saghar-e-sharab nahin

agar ai nasim-e-sahar tera ho guzar dayar-e-hijaz mein

zaman-e-hijr miTe daur-e-wasl-e-yar aae

dil-e-mahjur ko taskin ka saman na mila

dil mein KHayal-e-nargis-e-jaanana aa gaya

har ek jalwa-e-rangin meri nigah mein hai

bujha sa rahta hai dil jab se hain watan se juda

dil-e-diwana-o-andaz bebakana rakhte hain

gulzar-e-jahan mein gul ki tarah go shad hain hum shadab hain hum
