jalva-e-husn agar zīnat-e-kāshāna bane
dastaras sham.a ko hāsil ho to parvāna bane

dil na hoshiyār rahe aur na dīvāna bane
ye tamannā hai ki ḳhaak dar-e-jānāna bane

husn ai husn ye hai terī karishma-sāzī
ka.aba ban jaa.e kahīñ aur kahīñ but-ḳhāna bane

hosh aur kashmakash-e-hosh ilāhī tauba
vahī hoshiyār hai ulfat meñ jo dīvāna bane

is tamannā se maiñ ai ishq ḳhajil hotā huuñ
dil kī taqdīr ki vo husn kā nazrāna bane

husn mahsūs se hai jalva-e-mutlaq matlūb
na sahī ka.aba to dil-e-mā.il but-ḳhāna bane

mai-parastī kā muayyan koī me.aar nahīñ
jis kā jo zarf ho saaqī vahī paimāna bane

un kī sarshār nigāhoñ ke tasadduq kahiye
hāsil-e-kaif jo paimāna-ba-paimāna bane

soz ulfat ke ḳhudā sham.a nahīñ hai na sahī
phūñk itnā mirī hastī ko ki parvāna bane

sāġhar-e-dil meñ hai kaifiyyat-e-sahbā-e-alast
buuñd buuñd us kī na kyuuñ hāsil-e-mai-ḳhāna bane

aap ik roz tavajjoh se jo sun leñ sar-e-bazm
dil kī rūdād kā har lafz ik afsāna bane

aaj mujh ko vo mai-e-hosh-rubā de saaqī
aur to aur dil apne se bhī begāna bane

kaash miT miT ke mirī hastī-e-nāchīz 'ġhubār'
ḳhaak ho jaa.e to ḳhāk-e-dar-e-jānāna bane

jalwa-e-husn agar zinat-e-kashana bane
dastaras shama ko hasil ho to parwana bane

dil na hoshiyar rahe aur na diwana bane
ye tamanna hai ki KHak dar-e-jaanana bane

husn ai husn ye hai teri karishma-sazi
kaba ban jae kahin aur kahin but-KHana bane

hosh aur kashmakash-e-hosh ilahi tauba
wahi hoshiyar hai ulfat mein jo diwana bane

is tamanna se main ai ishq KHajil hota hun
dil ki taqdir ki wo husn ka nazrana bane

husn mahsus se hai jalwa-e-mutlaq matlub
na sahi kaba to dil-e-mail but-KHana bane

mai-parasti ka muayyan koi mear nahin
jis ka jo zarf ho saqi wahi paimana bane

un ki sarshaar nigahon ke tasadduq kahiye
hasil-e-kaif jo paimana-ba-paimana bane

soz ulfat ke KHuda shama nahin hai na sahi
phunk itna meri hasti ko ki parwana bane

saghar-e-dil mein hai kaifiyyat-e-sahba-e-alast
bund bund us ki na kyun hasil-e-mai-KHana bane

aap ek roz tawajjoh se jo sun len sar-e-bazm
dil ki rudad ka har lafz ek afsana bane

aaj mujh ko wo mai-e-hosh-ruba de saqi
aur to aur dil apne se bhi begana bane

kash miT miT ke meri hasti-e-nachiz 'ghubar'
KHak ho jae to KHak-e-dar-e-jaanana bane
