Log hilaal-e shaam sey barh kar pal main mah-e tammam howe

Log hilaal-e shaam sey barh kar pal main mah-e tammam howe
Hum har burj main ghat’te ghat’te subha talak ghumnaam howe

Un logo.n ki baat karo jo ishq main khush unjaam howe
Najd main Qais yahan per Insha khwaar howe, na-kaam howe

Kis ka chamakta chehra lain, kis soraj sey maangain dhoop
Ghor undhaira cha jata hay, khilwat-e dill main shaam howe

Aik sey aik junoo ka mara is basti main rehta hay
Aik humain hushiyaar they yaaro, aik humain ba-naam howe

Shouq ki aag, nafas ki garmi, ghat’te ghat’te sard ho na ho?
Chah ki raah dikha kar tum tu waqf-e dareecha-o baam howe

Un sey bhahar-o baagh ki baatain kar k jee ko dukhana kya
Jin ko aik zamana guzra kunj-e qafas main raam howe

Insha sahab pho phat’ti hay, taarey dobeby, subha hoi
Baat tumhaari maan k hum tu shab bhi be-araam howe
