pabandi-e-hudud se begana chahiye

pābandī-e-hudūd se begāna chāhiye

ai zauq-e-ijz jalva-gah-e-yār hai qarīb

pā-e-talab meñ laġhzish-e-mastāna chāhiye

'tābish' ġham-e-hayāt hī vaj.h-e-nashāt hai

har ek daaġh sūrat-e-paimāna chāhiye

pabandi-e-hudud se begana chahiye

daman ba-qadr-e-wahshat-e-diwana chahiye

hota hai fash girya-e-paiham se raaz-e-ishq

ai shama raaz-dari-e-parwana chahiye

zauq-e-ubudiyat hai tayyun se be-niyaz

ham-surat-e-jabin dar-e-jaanana chahiye

bazm-e-niyaz-e-ishq mein hun aashna-e-hosh

be-parda aaj phir ruKH-e-jaanana chahiye

ai zauq-e-ijz jalwa-gah-e-yar hai qarib

pa-e-talab mein laghzish-e-mastana chahiye

'tabish' gham-e-hayat hi wajh-e-nashat hai

har ek dagh surat-e-paimana chahiye
