Aah ko chaye ik umar asar hone tak

Aah ko chaye ik umar asar hone tak
Kaun jeeta hai teri zulf ke sar hone tak

Daam har mauj men hai, halqa-e-sadd kaam neheng
Dekhen, kya guzre hai qatre pe geher hone tak

Ashiqi sabar talab aur tamanna betaab
Dil ka kya rang karoon, khoon-e-jigar hone tak

Hum ne mana ke taghaful na karoge lekin
Khak hojayenge hum tujh ko khabar hone tak

Par too khoor se hai shabnam ko fana ki taleem
Men bhi hoon ek inayat ki nazar hone tak

Yak nazar besh nahi, fursat-e-hasti ghaafil
Garmi bazm hai ik raqs-e-sharrar hone tak

Ghum-e-hasti ka asad kise ko juz marg-e-ilaj
Shamma har rang men jalti hai seher hone tak
