Naam hi kya nishaN hi kya khaab O khyaal ho gaye
Teri misaal de ke hum teri misaal ho gaye
Saya E zaat say bhi rum, aks E sifaat se bhi rum
Dasht E ghazal main aa ke dekh hum to ghazaal ho gaye
Kitne hi nashsha-ha-E-zouq, kitne hi jazba-ha-E-shouq
Rasm E tapaak E yaar se ru ba zawaal ho gaye
Ishq hai apna paidaar, us ki wafa hai ustawaar
Hum to halaak e warzish E farz E mahaal ho gaye
Kaise zameeN parast the ahd E wafa ke paasdaar
UR kar bulandyun meiN hum, Gard E malaal ho gaye
Qurb E jamaal aur hum, Aish E wisaal aur hum ?
HaaN ye hua K sakin E shahr E jamaal ho gaye
Jadaa E shouq main paRa Qahat E ghubar E karwaN
WaaN ke shajar to sar ba sar dast E sawaal ho gaye
Kaun sa qafila hai yeh jis ke jaras ka hai yeh shor
Main to niDhal hogaya hum to niDhal hogaye
khaar ba khaar gul ba gul, fasl E bahaar aa gayi
Fasl E bahaar aa gayi , zakhum bahaal ho gaye
Shor uTha magar tujhy lazat E gosh to milii
Khoon bahaa magar teray hath to laal ho gaye
Hum nafasaan E waz’a-daar, mustam’aaan E burd baar
Hum to tumharay waastay ek wabaal ho gaye
‘Joan’ karoge kab talak apna misalia talash
Ab kayi hijr hogaye, ab kayi saal hogaye
