apna rafiq-o-ashna ghair-e-KHuda koi nahin

is gosha-e-uzlat mein tanhai hai aur main hun

jalwa-gar us ka sarapa hai badan aaine mein

na samjho tum ki main diwana virane mein rahta hun

aashiq to milenge tujhe insan na milega

shab-e-hijran thi main tha aur tanhai ka aalam tha

sher kya jis mein nok-jhok na ho

kibriyai ki ada tujh mein hai

tujh bin to kabhi gul ke tain bu na karun main

barq-e-ruKHsar-e-yar phir chamki

gar ho tamancha-band wo rashk-e-firangiyan

chhuriyan chalin shab dil o jigar par

haal-e-dil-e-be-qarar hai aur

hun shaiKH mushafi ka main hairan-e-shaeri

kal patang usne jo bazar se mangwa bheja
