nigah-e-qahr ke mare jab itna KHush hain to phir
ruTha hi rahe mujhse ye manzur hai lekin
wo to bata raha tha kai mil ka safar
zamane bhar ko mubarak KHushi ka aalam ho
adab lakh tha phir bhi unki taraf
kya kya fareb dil ko diye iztirab mein
aadmi pahchana jata hai qayafa dekh kar
mangi thi ek bar dua humne maut ki
chehra khuli kitab hai unwan jo bhi do
wo urdu ka musafir hai yahi pahchan hai uski
saqi sharab jam-o-subu mutrib o bahaar
lam nastaliq ka hai us but-e-KHush-KHat ki zulf
bahut ghurur hai tujhko ai sar-phire tufan
hamare shisha-e-dil ko sambhal kar hath mein lena
faiz-o-kamal-o-sidq-o-safa aur husn-o-ishq
