Qafas mein rah ke gul-o-nastaran ki baat karo

qafas mein rah ke gul-o-nastaran ki baat karo
chaman se dur ho lekin chaman ki baat karo

abhi to jazb-e-mohabbat ki aazmaish hai
farogh-e-ishq ki dar-o-rasan ki baat karo

jale shabab ke tufan mein sham-e-taqwa kya
bahaar-e-nau ki sharab-e-kuhan ki baat karo

KHilaf-e-maslak-e-ulfat hai shikwa-e-saqi
na tishna-kaami-e-kaam-o-dahan ki baat karo

yahan fasana-e-dair-o-haram se kya hasil
yahan to saqi-e-iman-shikan ki baat karo

ajab nahin ki qafas se rah-e-chaman nikle
asir rah ke bahaar-e-chaman ki baat karo

sukut-o-gosha-nashini se 'qadri' hasil
suKHan-waron mein kamal-e-suKHan ki baat karo
