Hai mashq-e-suKHan jari chakki ki mashaqqat bhi

hai mashq-e-suKHan jari chakki ki mashaqqat bhi
ek turfa tamasha hai 'hasrat' ki tabiat bhi

jo chaho saza de lo tum aur bhi khul khelo
par hum se qasam le lo ki ho jo shikayat bhi

dushwar hai rindon par inkar-e-karam yaksar
ai saqi-e-jaan-parwar kuchh lutf-o-inayat bhi

dil bas-ki hai diwana us husn-e-gulabi ka
rangin hai usi ru se shayad gham-e-furqat bhi

KHud ishq ki gustaKHi sab tujh ko sikha degi
ai husn-e-haya-parwar shoKHi bhi shararat bhi

barsat ke aate hi tauba na rahi baqi
baadal jo nazar aae badli meri niyat bhi

ushshaq ke dil nazuk us shoKH ki KHu nazuk
nazuk isi nisbat se hai kar-e-mohabbat bhi

rakhte hain mere dil par kyun tohmat-e-betabi
yan nala-e-muztar ki jab mujh mein ho quwwat bhi

ai shauq ki bebaki wo kya teri KHwahish thi
jis par unhen ghussa hai inkar bhi hairat bhi

har-chand hai dil shaida hurriyat-e-kaamil ka
manzur-e-dua lekin hai qaid-e-mohabbat bhi

hain 'shad' o 'safi' shair ya 'shauq' o 'wafa' 'hasrat'
phir 'zamin' o 'mahshar' hain 'iqbaal' bhi 'wahshat' bhi
