Kahte haiṅ mujhse ‘ishq kā afsānā chāhiye,
Rusvā’ī ho ga’ī, tumheṅ sharmānā chāhiye.

Khuddār itnī fitrat-e-rindānā chāhiye,
Sāqī ye ḵẖud kahe, tujhe paimānā chāhiye.

Aī mere ham-nashīṅ, chal kahīṅ aur chal,
Is chaman meṅ ab apnā guzārā nahīṅ.

Bāt hotī guloṅ tak to sah lete ham,
Ab to kāṅṭoṅ pe bhī ḥaq hamārā nahīṅ.
