dil jins-e-mohabbat kā ḳharīdār nahīñ hai
pahlī sī vo ab sūrat-bāzār nahīñ hai

har baar vahī soch vahī zahr kā sāġhar
is par ye sitam-e-jur.at-e-inkār nahīñ hai

kuchh uTh ke bagūloñ kī tarah ho ga.e raqsāñ
kuchh kahte rahe rāsta hamvār nahīñ hai

dil Duub gayā lazzat-e-āġhosh-e-sahar meñ
bedār hai is tarah ki bedār nahīñ hai

ham is se matā-e-dil-o-jāñ maañg rahe haiñ
jo ek tabassum kā ravādār nahīñ hai

ye sar se nikaltī huī logoñ kī fasīleñ
dil se magar ūñchī koī dīvār nahīñ hai

dam saadh ke baiThā huuñ agarche mire sar par
ik shāḳh-e-samar-dār hai talvār nahīñ hai

dam lo na kahīñ dhuup meñ chalte raho 'bāqī'
apne liye ye sāya-e-ashjār nahīñ hai

dil jins-e-mohabbat ka KHaridar nahin hai
pahli si wo ab surat-bazar nahin hai

har bar wahi soch wahi zahr ka saghar
is par ye sitam-e-jurat-e-inkar nahin hai

kuchh uTh ke bagulon ki tarah ho gae raqsan
kuchh kahte rahe rasta hamwar nahin hai

dil Dub gaya lazzat-e-aghosh-e-sahar mein
bedar hai is tarah ki bedar nahin hai

hum is se mata-e-dil-o-jaan mang rahe hain
jo ek tabassum ka rawadar nahin hai

ye sar se nikalti hui logon ki fasilen
dil se magar unchi koi diwar nahin hai

dam sadh ke baiTha hun agarche mere sar par
ek shaKH-e-samar-dar hai talwar nahin hai

dam lo na kahin dhup mein chalte raho 'baqi'
apne liye ye saya-e-ashjar nahin hai
