Ek ishaare mein badal jata hai maiKHane ka nam

ek ishaare mein badal jata hai maiKHane ka nam
chashm-e-saqi teri gardish se hai paimane ka nam

pahle tha mauj-e-bahaaran dil ke lahrane ka nam
maskan-e-barq-e-tapan hai ab to kashane ka nam

aas jis ki ibtida thi yas jis ki intiha
ai dil-e-nakaam kya ho aise afsane ka nam

rang la kar hi raha aaKHir mohabbat ka asar
aaj to un ki zaban par bhi hai diwane ka nam

aasman par barq gulshan mein saba dariya mein mauj
jis jagah dekho naya hai zulf lahrane ka nam

maut ho ya wo hon donon hain ilaj-e-dard-e-dil
wa-e-qismat ek bhi leta nahin aane ka nam

zulf-e-mushkin lala-ruKH gul-pairahan mast-e-bahaar
mausam-e-gul hai tumhaare baam par aane ka nam

ishq ki taswir ka ye dusra ruKH hai 'waqar'
shama jalti hai magar hota hai parwane ka nam
