Dil mein poshida tap-e-ishq-e-butan rakhte hain

dil mein poshida tap-e-ishq-e-butan rakhte hain
aag hum sang ki manind nihan rakhte hain

tazgi hai suKHan-e-kuhna mein ye baad-e-wafat
log aksar mere jine ka guman rakhte hain

bha gai kaun si wo baat buton ki warna
na kamar rakhte hain kafir na dahan rakhte hain

misl-e-parwana nahin kuchh zar-o-mal apne pas
hum faqat tum pe fida karne ko jaan rakhte hain

mahfil-e-yar mein kuchh baat na nikli munh se
kahne ko shama ki manind zaban rakhte hain

ho gaya zard paDi jis ki hasinon pe nazar
ye ajab gul hain ki tasir-e-KHizan rakhte hain

ewaz-e-mulk-e-jahan mulk-e-suKHan hai 'nasiKH'
go nahin hukm-e-rawan taba-e-rawan rakhte hain
