mai-kashi ka hai ye shauq usko ki aaine mein

koi ye shaiKH se puchhe ki band kar aankhen

mata-e-dil bahut arzan hai kyun nahin lete

din raat yahan putliyon ka nach rahe hai

aankhon se tujhko yaad main karta hun roz-o-shab

kam nahin hai afsar-shahi se kuchh taj-e-gada

sair ki humne jo kal mahfil-e-KHamoshan ki

tishnagi KHak bujhe ashk ki tughyani se

sau bar bosa-e-lab-e-shirin wo de to lun

mat puchh wardat-e-shab-e-hijr ai nasir

kyun mai ke pine se karun inkar naseha

ek pal mein jhaDi abr-e-tunak-maya ki sheKHi

sar-bulandi ko yahan dil ne na chaha munim

nahin hai fursat-e-ik-dam pa aah usko nazar

ye dagh nahin tan par main dekhne ko tere
