Sahra pe gar junun mujhe lawe itab mein

sahra pe gar junun mujhe lawe itab mein
khinchun har ek KHar ko pa-e-hisab mein

is barq ki tarah se ki ho wo sahab mein
aatish di baKHt-e-bad ne mujhe ain aab mein

dekhi thi zulf raat kisi ki main KHwab mein
ab tak hai baal baal mera pech-o-tab mein

Tuk ghaur kar tu bu-qalmon ka falak ke Dol
ek rang hai naya hi har ek inqalab mein

us shola-KHu se kasb-e-hararat kare hai dagh
zarra hai jis ka soz-e-dil-e-aftab mein

mai pi jo chahe aatish-e-dozaKH se tu najat
jalta nahin wo uzw jo tar ho sharab mein

jun mauj mujh se mujib-e-be-taqati na puchh
ek umr hai ki hun main isi iztirab mein

qazi KHabar le mai ko bhi likkha hai wan mubah
rishwat ka hai jawaz teri jis kitab mein

roz-e-shumar go ho mere sath baz-purs
main kya hun aur mere gunah kis hisab mein

ye sar-kashi hai utni tanik maegi pe kya
jhamka nahin hai bahr agar is sahab mein

kya kije howe chashm miyan teri hi jo kor
zahir hai warna husn wahi har naqab mein

naseh na taza ishq ki main waza ki hai rah
har kuchh kare hai aadmi ahd-e-shabab mein

qaem hai ye bhi taur koi zindagi ka yan
guzri tamam umr teri KHur-o-KHwab mein

'qaem' ho kis tarah se baham shakl-e-iKHtilat
wo is ghurur-e-naz mein hum is hijab mein
