ishq ka naghma junun ke saz par gate hain hum
ishq kā naġhma junūñ ke saaz par gaate haiñ ham
apne ġham kī aañch se patthar ko pighlāte haiñ ham
jaag uThte haiñ to suulī par bhī niiñd aatī nahīñ
vaqt paḌ jaa.e to añgāroñ pe so jaate haiñ ham
zindagī ko ham se baḌh kar kaun kar saktā hai pyaar
aur agar marne pe aa jaa.eñ to mar jaate haiñ ham
dafn ho kar ḳhaak meñ bhī dafn rah sakte nahīñ
lāla-o-gul ban ke vīrānoñ pe chhā jaate haiñ ham
ham ki karte haiñ chaman meñ ehtimām-e-rañg-o-bū
rū-e-getī se naqāb-e-husn sarkāte haiñ ham
aks paḌte hī sañvar jaate haiñ chehre ke nuqūsh
shāhid-e-hastī ko yuuñ ā.īna dikhlāte haiñ ham
mai-kashoñ ko muzhda sadiyoñ ke pyāsoñ ko naved
apnī mahfil apnā saaqī le ke ab aate haiñ ham
ishq ka naghma junun ke saz par gate hain hum
apne gham ki aanch se patthar ko pighlate hain hum
jag uThte hain to suli par bhi nind aati nahin
waqt paD jae to angaron pe so jate hain hum
zindagi ko hum se baDh kar kaun kar sakta hai pyar
aur agar marne pe aa jaen to mar jate hain hum
dafn ho kar KHak mein bhi dafn rah sakte nahin
lala-o-gul ban ke viranon pe chha jate hain hum
hum ki karte hain chaman mein ehtimam-e-rang-o-bu
ru-e-geti se naqab-e-husn sarkate hain hum
aks paDte hi sanwar jate hain chehre ke nuqush
shahid-e-hasti ko yun aaina dikhlate hain hum
mai-kashon ko muzhda sadiyon ke pyason ko nawed
apni mahfil apna saqi le ke ab aate hain hum
