خراب گردشِ دوراں ہی رہتے اک زمانے تک

Kharab gardish-e-dauran hi rehte ik zamane tak

Agar qismat na lay aati tumhare aastaane tak

Iyaadat ko chale aayein woh shayad jaan jane tak

Bahar-soorat hamein jeena paray ga un ke aane tak

Phansay hum saadgi se daam-e-dam-hamshakal nasheman mein

Yehi hai dastaan apni qafas se aashiyane tak

Firaq-e-dost bhi tarfa karam hai, gar koi samjhay

Hai tasweer-e-wafa mein rang, haal-e-dil sunane tak

Meri hi zaat se qayim hai yeh hangama-e-hasti

Rahay gi gardish-e-charkh-e-kuhan mere mitane tak

Bahaaron mein bhi dil ko ik dharakka sa raha har dam

Bicha tha har rawish par daam mere aashiyane tak

Yehi mehroomiyan hain, zindagi jin se ibarat hai

Jiye jatay hain ahl-e-dil muqaddar aazmane tak

Ghaneemat hai ke ab tak baat honton tak nahi aayi

Chalay bhi aao! warna baat pohnchay gi zamane tak

Nigahein dar pe, kaan aahat pe, dharkan tez, lab saakit

Nahi maloom dil ka kya banay qasid ke aane tak

Naseer us bazm mein jab Qais ke qissay ka zikr aaya

Wafa ke silsilay joray gaye mere fasanay tak
