tha aasman par jo sitara nahin raha
the wo qisse magar sarab ke the
waqt ajib chiz hai waqt ke sath Dhal gae
gul hue chaak-gareban sar-e-gulzar ai dil
ehtiyat ai dil-e-nadan wo zamane na rahe
shahr mein shor hai us shoKH ke aa jaane ka
KHud ko pane ki justuju hai wahi
mujhe kisi se kisi baat ka gila hi nahin
kuchh ajib aalam hai hosh hai na masti hai
phir saje bazm-e-tarab zulf khule shana chale
husn-e-muKHtar sahi ishq bhi majbur nahin
