zabt apna shiar tha na raha

lutf o karam ke putle ho ab qahr o sitam ka nam nahin

tera nigah-e-shauq koi raaz-dan na tha

duniya-e-husn-o-ishq mein kis ka zuhur tha

shabab-e-hosh ki fil-jumla yaadgar hui

be-ajal kaam na apna kisi unwan nikla

mizaj-e-dahr mein un ka ishaara pae ja

kuchh bas hi na tha warna ye ilzam na lete

na ibtida ki KHabar hai na intiha malum

justuju-e-nashat-e-mubham kya

yun nazm-e-jahan darham-o-barham na hua tha

ki wafa yar se ek ek jafa ke badle

ada se aaD mein KHanjar ke munh chhupae hue

kyun na nairang-e-junun par koi qurban ho jae

ab unhen apni adaon se hijab aata hai
