Balaen aankhon se unki mudam lete hain

balaen aankhon se un ki mudam lete hain
hum apne hathon ka mizhgan se kaam lete hain

hum un ki zulf se sauda jo wam lete hain
to asl o sud wo sab dam dam lete hain

shab-e-visal ke roz-e-firaq mein kya kya
nasib mujh se mere intiqam lete hain

qamar hi dagh-e-ghulami faqat nahin rakhta
wo mol aise hazaron ghulam lete hain

hum un ke zor ke qail hain hain wahi shah-zor
jo ishq mein dil-e-muztar ko tham lete hain

qatil-e-naz batate nahin tujhe qatil
jab un se puchho ajal hi ka nam lete hain

tere asir jo sayyaad karte hain fariyaad
to phir wo dam hi nahin zer-e-dam lete hain

jhukae hai sar-e-taslim mah-e-nau par wo
ghurur-e-husn se kis ka salam lete hain

tere KHiram ke pairu hain jitne fitne hain
qadam sab aan ke waqt-e-KHiram lete hain

hamare hath se ai 'zauq' waqt-e-mai-noshi
hazar naz se wo ek jam lete hain
