mere sar mein jo raat chakkar tha

subh-dam roti jo teri bazm se jati hai shama

yunhi uljhi rahne do kyun aafat sar par late ho

jhuTe wadon par tumhaari jaen kya

bahe sath ashk ke laKHt-e-jigar tak

kyun dekhiye na husn-e-KHuda-dad ki taraf

apne dar se jo uThate hain hamein

shaiKH ke haal par tassuf hai

mahfil mein us pe raat jo tu mehrban na tha

apni jaan-bazi ka jis dam imtihan ho jaega

suli chaDhe jo yar ke qad par fida na ho

kisi ka dil ko raha intizar sari raat

gham nahin mujhko jo waqt-e-imtihan mara gaya

dil se kya puchhta hai zulf-e-girah-gir se puchh

kab ghair hua mahw teri jalwagari ka
