bulbul ko baghban se na sayyaad se gila

but-parasti jis se howe haq-parasti ai zafar

hath kyun bandhe mere chhalla agar chori hua

kah do in hasraton se kahin aur ja basen

ye chaman yunhi rahega aur hazaron bulbulen

laDa kar aankh us se humne dushman kar liya apna

farhad o qais o wamiq o azra the chaar dost

haal-e-dil kyun kar karen apna bayan achchhi tarah

yar tha gulzar tha baad-e-saba thi main na tha

na mujhko kahne ki taqat kahun to kya ahwal

koi kyun kisi ka lubhae dil koi kya kisi se lagae dil

tu kahin ho dil-e-diwana wahan pahunchega

idhar KHayal mere dil mein zulf ka guzra

ai wae inqalab zamane ke jaur se

kya puchhta hai humse tu ai shoKH sitamgar
