abr ke bin dekhe hargiz khush dil-e-mastan na ho
tir baran howe mujh par jab talak baran na ho

meri ruswai ne tere husn ki ki hai numud
jab talak shabnam nahin roe to gul khandan na ho

tarz teri guftugu ki hai gawah-e-mai-kashi
bu-e-gul aur nashsha-e-sahba kabhi pinhan na ho

shaikh ko wo jahl hai sau bar kabe ke tain
jae aur aae wa-lekin phir gadha insan na ho

zikr-e-abru-e-butan se kyun bura mane hai shaikh
kya hua kafir tujhe qible se ru-gardan na ho

sach bata ai jaan-e-ishq o ishq-bazan kya hai tu
bin tere main us badan sa hun ki jis mein jaan na ho

yan se ja shaitan zulf-e-yar ko hum de chuke
aashiqon ka din hai ye shaikh ka iman na ho

tark-e-taz-e-ghamza ka us ki yahi dar hai 'raza'
ye gham-abaad apna shahr-e-dil kahin viran na ho
