wo shama nahin hain ki hon ek raat ke mehman

ya dil hai mera ya tera naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa hai

sunta hun ki KHirman se hai bijli ko bahut lag

fana hone mein soz-e-shama ki minnat-kashi kaisi

banne lage hain dagh sitare KHusha nasib

dekhna hai kis mein achchhi shakl aati hai nazar

fikr-e-maal thi na gham-e-rozgar tha

wo nigah-e-sharmagin ho ya kisi ka inkisar

guftugu ki tum se aadat ho gai hai warna mein

wahshiyon ko qaid se chhuTe hue muddat hui

tamhid thi junun ki gareban hua jo chaak

tum aise be-KHabar bhi shaz honge is zamane mein
