dilli mein apna tha jo kuchh asbab rah gaya

mera salam wo leta nahin magar samjha

sadgi dekh ki bose ki tama rakhta hun

bara-wafaten biswin jhaDiyan hain sau jagah

kya kiya us ka kisu ne bagh se jati rahi

ama ki pari mane-e-parwaz hai jis tarah

laila chali thi haj ke liye jazb-e-ishq se

baiTha tha aa ke qais to laila ke dar pe lek

hindostan mein daulat o hashmat jo kuchh ki thi

marte marte isi but ka mujhe kalma paDhna

kaba o dair mein DhunDe jo kahin le ke charagh

tan to kahan hai shola-e-fanus ki tarah

charagh-e-husn-e-yusuf jab ho raushan

hain yaadgar-e-alam-e-fani ye dinon chiz

ai mushafi ustad-e-fan-e-reKHta-goi
