haan ai falak-e-peer javaan tha abhee aarif
kya tera bigadata jo na marata koee din aur
na gul-e-nagma hoon na parda-e-saaz
main hoon apanee shikast kee aavaaz
kaanton kee zabaan sookh gaee pyaas se ya rab
ik aabala-pa vaadee-e-pur-khaar mein aave
main ne kaha ki bazm-e-naaz chaahie gair se tihee
sun ke sitam-zareef ne mujh ko utha diya ki yoon
be-parda soo-e-vaadee-e-majanoon guzar na kar
har zarra ke naqaab mein dil be-qaraar hai
qatara apana bhee haqeeqat mein hai dariya lekin
ham ko taqaleed-e-tunuk-zarfee-e-mansoor nahin
qayaamat hai ki hove muddee ka ham-safar ghalib
vo kaafir jo khuda ko bhee na saumpa jae hai mujh se
seekhe hain mah-rukhon ke lie ham musavvaree
taqareeb kuchh to bahar-e-mulaaqaat chaahie
kahate hue saaqee se haya aatee hai varna
hai yoon ki mujhe durd-e-tah-e-jaam bahut hai
raat pee zamazam pe may aur subh-dam
dhoe dhabbe jaama-e-eharaam ke
