Inkar mai'n iqrar ki baat aa hi gai hai, 
batoo'n mai'n Gham-e-yar ki baat aa hi gai hai, 
aaya hai kabhi zikr agar dar-o-rasa'n ka, 
gesoo-wa-qad-e-yar ki bat aa hi gai hai, 
jab surKhiI-e-gulshan ka kabhi zikr hua hai, 
tere lab-o-ruKhsar ki baat aa hi gai hai, 
DhoonDa hai agar zaKhm-e-tamana ne mudawa 
ik nargis-e-bimar ki baat aa hi gai hai, 
mil baiThe hai'n zinda mai'n agar sham ko ahbaab ,
tere dar-o-diwar ki baat aa hi gai hai, 
chra hai koi talKh fasana jo kisi ne, 
shirini-e-guftar ki baat aa hi gai hai.
