Faqat shor-e-dil-e-pur-arzu tha

faqat shor-e-dil-e-pur-arzu tha
na apne jism mein hum the na tu tha

har ek ke panw par jhukte kaTi umr
na samjhe hum ki kis qalib mein tu tha

jahan pahunche usi ka nur paya
jidhar dekha wahi KHurshid-ru tha

jagah daman mein apne kyun na dete
ki tifl-e-ashk apna hi lahu tha

kahun kya dil ki main nazuk-mizaji
KHuda baKHshe nihayat tund-KHu tha

main kaifiyyat kahun kya bazm-e-mai ki
ki mina hath mein aankhon mein tu tha

ghash aaya us ne tauli tegh jab jab
ajab halka hamara bhi lahu tha

bahut DhunDa kahin paya na hum ne
bata de ye ki kis goshe mein tu tha

bacha qatil ka daman lillahil-hamd
bahut khaula hua apna lahu tha

udu the saqiya sab mai-kade mein
yahi ek aas thi palle pe tu tha

libas-e-kuhna jab tha apna sad-chaak
to phir bekar paiwand o rafu tha

ghazab mein aa ke tujh ko toDta shaiKH
natija bahas ka kya ai subu tha

teri taswir the hum bhi kisi waqt
yahi naqsha hamara hu-ba-hu tha

nazar mein hech tha kaunain saqi
labaalab jam tha hum the subu tha

saza laghzish ki pate bazm mein hum
KHuda ko KHair karna tha ki tu tha

hum apne hosh mein baqi the har tarah
magar jab tu hamare ru-ba-ru tha

tujhi se munh phula lete ajab kya
saba ghunchon ka bhi aaKHir numu tha

chale hum bagh se ai 'shad' kis waqt
bahaar aane ko thi gul ka numu tha
