chandni-raat mein sandal sa bikharta saya
buri baat un ko hamari lage
har-samt tazgi si jharnon ki naghmagi se kitni
zat ke gard fasilen hain riyazat malum
wada-e-ulfat-o-paiman-e-wafa se tauba
hum apne-ap se karte rahe bayan tanha
aatish-e-fikr badan ghulta ho paiham jaise
kab hawa muTThi mein aati hai abas dauDa kiya
harim-e-zat ke parde mein justuju yaran
hujum-e-yas mein bhi aas jawedan Thahri
dekhe to tamaddun ka banna koi urdu mein
jab hui KHak to iksir hui hai baba
dil jo murda ho to ye rashk-e-jinan kuchh bhi nahin
nashtar si dil mein chubhti hui baat le chalen
saz-e-hasti pe agar gao to kuchh baat bane
