Aankhon se teri zulf ka saya nahin jata
Aaram jo dekha hai bhulaya nahin jata
Allah-re nadan jawani ki umangen!
Jaise koi bazar sajaya nahin jata
Aankhon se pilate raho saghar mein na Dalo
Ab hum se koi jam uThaya nahin jata
Bole koi hans kar to chhirak dete hain jaan bhi
Lekin koi ruThe to manaya nahin jata
Jis tar ko chheren wahi fariyaad-ba-lab hai
Ab hum se ‘adam’ saz bajaya nahin jata

Un ko ahd-e-shabab mein dekha
Chandni ko sharab mein dekha
Aankh ka Aetbaar kya karte
Jo bhi dekha wo Khawab mein dekha
Dagh sa mahtab mein paya
Zakhm sa aftab mein dekha
Jam la kar Karib aankhon ke
Aap ne kuchh sharab mein dekha
Kis ne chera tha saz-e-masti ko?
Aik shoala rubab mein dekha
Log kuchh mutmain bhi thay phir bhi
Jis ko dekha Azaab mein dekha
Hijr ki raat so gae the ‘adam’
Subh-e-mahshar ko Khawab mein dekha
