mehrban mujh pe ho ai rashk-e-qamar aaj ki raat
mere ahwal ka afsana banaya hota
dariya-o-mauj sa kabhi humse juda na ho
mile be-nishan ke nishan kaise kaise
teri gali mein jo aae wo ghar nahin jate
main na minnat-kash-e-angur hua KHub hua
aai bahaar daur ho saqi sharab ka
wo bekali nahin dil ko wo iztirab nahin
aaj sayyaad ne bhule se chaman dikhlaya
qubul kijiye inkar ka maqam nahin
jumbish-a-abru-e-qatil kabhi aisi to na thi
sar ko nausha ke mere shah ne bandha sehra
sabza-e-KHat hai payambar ruKH hai quran-e-bahaar
