adab mein muddai-e-fan to be-shumar mile
magar na 'mir' ke 'ghaalib' ke wirsa-dar mile

junun-e-ishq ko daman to tar tar mila
maza to jab hai gareban bhi tar tar mile

bade maze se guzari hai zindagi main ne
khuda ke fazl se haalat sazgar mile

kisi ke dil pe bhala ikhtiyar kya hoga
bahut hai apne hi dil par jo ikhtiyar mile

ye kya sitam hai ki aada to paen hur-o-qusur
jo un ke chahne wale hain un ko dar mile

mere mizaj ko bakhsha hai inkisar agar
ba-qadr-e-zarf tabiat ko inkisar mile

har ek amal pe mukallaf bana ke farmaya
kahin se dekhna daman na dagh-dar mile

mera mazaq hai ikram-e-dostan 'wasfi'
wo dil hi pas nahin jis mein kuchh ghubar mile
