qasid aaya magar jawab nahin

ye kahna us se ai qasid jo mahw-e-KHud-parasti hai

din ki aahen na gain raat ke nale na gae

rahat na mil saki mujhe mai-KHana chhoD kar

ghaTa diya rutba har hasin ka miTa diya rang hur-e-in ka

lakh dil-mast ho masti ka ayan raaz na ho

kya jald din bahaar ke ya-rab guzar gae

ek din bhi to na apni raat nurani hui

hum to qusur-war hue aankh Dal ke

abhi se aafat-e-jaan hai ada ada teri

kya hina KHun-rez nikli hae pis jaane ke baad

han jise aashiqi nahin aati

ye kah gaya but-e-na-ashna suna ke mujhe

ishq ab meri jaan hai goya

baat saqi ki na Tali jaegi
