Khushbu ki tarah faila me inn khubsurat fazao me,
Jab jab khud ko paya mene uski raho me!
Zannat, manzil sab kuch paas aane lage,
Taiyaar hone lage mohabbat-e-mahal, hawaao me!
Kash mera mehboob bhi kuch yu benakaab hota,
Kadmo me mere noore-aaftaab hota!
Gar hushn ke unki mai sartaaz hota,
Hushn-e-didaar ko ye saara aashmaan betaab hota!
Ab to dil ki har tamanna dil me hi dafan kar liya mene,
Gairo ko jab dekha mene unki nigaaho me!
Har waqt apni duawo me unko maanga humne,
Khushiya maangi jitni, utna hi gum paya mene!
Saja mili mujhe kuch yu mohabbat-e-agaaz me,
Khushi dekar unko, apni aankho ko num paya mene!
Aaj hua eksaas mujhe meri gunaho ki,
Bewafayi dikhati rahi use meri wafao me!
Dard-e-dil me ab kisko dikhau,
Ek aag ka dariya me bhi dabaye baitha hu!
Kaun dilayega aazadi iss zillat ki jindagi se,
Me badnaseeb maut ko bhi aajamaye baitha hu!
Shayad gardisho me tha mere kishmat ka sitara,
Jab Maut se bhag ke aaya tha mai maut ki panaho me!
Ab to dede mujhe maut apni hi baho me,
Jeena marna sab kuch ab hushn ki chhao me!
