lakh hum sher kahen lakh ibarat likkhen

soch din raat yahi hai tere diwane ki

bazar se guzre hai wo be-parda ki usko

ye gum hue hain KHayal-e-visal-e-jaanan mein

jab se mani-bandi ka charcha hua ai mushafi

apni gharaz ko aae the wo raat mushafi

samne uske lagun rone to jhunjhla ke kahe

aadmi ko ghaflat-e-duniya nahin deti najat

sab uTThe bazm se aur apne apne ghar ko chale

samajh le aashiq o mashuq ki ham-aghoshi

qanaat uski nikalti hai wazhguni mein

karbala hai ye gali kya jo nahin milta yan

jaan jaani hai meri ai but-e-kam-sin tujh par

hai ye falak-e-sifla wo phika sa farangi

bad-gumani ne mujhe kya kya sataya kya kahun
