tirchhi nazar se dekhiye talwar chal gai

aur mujh sa jaan dene ka tamannai nahin

halqa halqa ghar bana laKHt-e-dil-e-betab ka

nazuk aisa nahin kisi ka peT

taswir-e-zulf-o-ariz-e-gulfam le gaya

qaid se najat

aashiq bana ke hum ko jalate hain shama-ru

karte hain masjidon mein shikwa-e-mastan zahid

saKHti-e-dahr hue bahr-e-suKHan mein aasan

jhuTi baaton ki tajalli nazar aae aise

rindon ko pabandi-e-duniya kahan

kalkatta ko Dak mein chala hun jo main aah

aashiq hi faqat nahin hai janjalon mein

phoDe ne safar mein saKHt ghabraya hai

wo bahr-e-karam jo mehrban ho jae

mazmun agar rah mein hath aata hai
