manzil-e-hasti mein ek yusuf ki thi mujhko talash

hae kya chiz thi jawani bhi

shisha-e-dil ko yun na uThao

bani hain shahr-ashob-e-tamanna

hadsat-e-dahr mein wabasta-e-arbab-e-dard

ai soz-e-ishq-e-pinhan ab qissa muKHtasar hai

ye teri aarzu mein baDhi wusat-e-nazar

kabhi jannat kabhi dozaKH kabhi kaba kabhi dair

hai dil mein josh-e-hasrat rukte nahin hain aansu

jab se zulfon ka paDa hai isMein aks

phuT nikla zahr sare jism mein

hamesha se mizaj-e-husn mein diqqat-pasandi hai

aaina chhoD ke dekha kiye surat meri

tamam anjuman-e-waz ho gai barham

mujhko kaba mein bhi hamesha shaiKH
