har tamashai faqat sahil se manzar dekhta

muntazir kab se tahayyur hai teri taqrir ka

usne sukut-e-shab mein bhi apna payam rakh diya

ye tabiat hai to KHud aazar ban jaenge hum

ye kya ki sab se bayan dil ki haalaten karni

ghurur-e-jaan ko mere yar bech dete hain

kal humne bazm-e-yar mein kya kya sharab pi

kyun na hum ahd-e-rifaqat ko bhulane lag jaen

ek bund thi lahu ki sar-e-dar to giri

hum bhi shair the kabhi jaan-e-suKHan yaad nahin

nazar bujhi to karishme bhi roz-o-shab ke gae

faqih-e-shahr ki majlis se kuchh bhala na hua

dukh fasana nahin ki tujhse kahen

shaguft-e-gul ki sada mein rang-e-chaman mein aao

hum to KHush the ki chalo dil ka junun kuchh kam hai
