puchhiye mai-kashon se lutf-e-sharab

ai dagh apni waza hamesha yahi rahi

is ada se wo jafa karte hain

kyun wasl ki shab hath lagane nahin dete

kal tak to aashna the magar aaj ghair ho

zamana dosti par in hasinon ki na itrae

baat ka zaKHm hai talwar ke zaKHmon se siwa

lijiye suniye ab afsana-e-furqat mujhse

kya puchhte ho kaun hai ye kis ki hai shohrat

chheD mashuq se kije to zara tham tham kar

zalim ne kya nikali raftar rafta rafta

jinko apni KHabar nahin ab tak

sath shoKHi ke kuchh hijab bhi hai

aap ka etibar kaun kare

jalwe meri nigah mein kaun-o-makan ke hain
