ab use apni shabahat bhi guzarti hai giran
KHud mere aansu chamak rakhte hain gauhar ki tarah
qaidi bana ke rakkha hai usne tamam umr
ab tak isi muamme mein uljha hua hun main
ab sar-e-am juda hote hain sar shanon se
shaKH se gir kar hawa ke sath sath
dekh lena ek din be-roz-gari ka azab
wo lala-badan jhil mein utra nahin warna
tumhaari mast aankhon ka tasawwur
waqt ki gardishon ka gham na karo
ye bhi hai mara hua saqi ki chashm-e-naz ka
wo meri aawaragardi wo mera diwana-pan
jannaten to peshwaon ne hi mil kar banT lin
wo jaga kar hum ko sab KHush-manzari le jaega
bhuli-bisri dastan mujhko na samjho
