mushkil ye aa paDi hai ki gardish mein jam hai

aaj phir ruh mein ek barq si lahraati hai

muskura kar KHitab karte ho

mujhse chunan-chunin na karo main nashe main hun

tahi sa jam to tha gir ke bah gaya hoga

saqi sharab la ki tabiat udas hai

wo abru yaad aate hain wo mizhgan yaad aate hain

faqir kis darja shadman the huzur ko kuchh to yaad hoga

munqalib surat-e-haalat bhi ho jati hai

ek dilkash zahr se labrez paimane ka nam

jahan wo zulf-e-barham kargar mahsus hoti hai

afsana chahte the wo afsana ban gaya

kitni be-saKHta KHata hun main

KHairaat sirf itni mili hai hayat se

bahut se logon ko gham ne jila ke mar diya
