hath mein le ke na KHanjar baiThiye

insan-e-hawas-pesha se kya ho nahin sakta

nalan nahin kuchh tere sitam par

meri KHatir mein saqi kab tera paimana aata hai

wo zeb-e-shabistan hua chahta hai

mili na fursat jahan ho ghash se uThi jo kuchh bhi naqab-e-ariz

dil pe aafat aai ab ek aan mein

main hua zinat-e-makan-e-qafas

ye kya lutf-e-shor-e-fughan rah gaya

rakho wo shewa na madd-e-nazar nazar mein rahe

dil wo shai hai ki jo dekhe to khiche yar ke sath

achchhi nibhi butan-e-sitam-ashna ke sath

ab to lab se na jaega aage

kab hai manzur ki yun jins-e-dil-e-zar bike

uThe aaj un se faisla kar ke
