jhalak parde se yun rah rah ke dikhlane se kya hasil

lijiye tabani-e-alam ke saman ho gae

apne hi sajde ka hai shauq mere sar-e-niyaz mein

aah hum hain aur shikasta-paiyan

be-khabar-e-hayat tha gham ne mujhe jaga diya

nahin ki chaara-e-dard-e-nihan nahin malum

na KHum-o-subu hue chur abhi na hijab-e-pir-e-mughan uTha

dard darman se kam to kya hoga

kisi ne chehre pe bikhra liya tha zulfon ko

bigDen wo humse ki hum un se sab mein ek lazzat hoti hai

teri be-iltifati kya koi kam hoti jati hai

dil na diwana ho ye usko gawara bhi nahin

udasiyan sahar-o-sham ki nahin achchhi

burai kya hai tum ilzam do burai ka

abhi diwangi mein kuchh kami mahsus hoti hai
