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
aaj sayyaad ne bhule se chaman dikhlaya
wo bekali nahin dil ko wo iztirab nahin
jumbish-a-abru-e-qatil kabhi aisi to na thi
qubul kijiye inkar ka maqam nahin
sar ko nausha ke mere shah ne bandha sehra
sabza-e-KHat hai payambar ruKH hai quran-e-bahaar
