guzra apna pas-e-murdan hi sahi
kucha-e-yar mein madfan hi sahi

khair jo rang nahin hai to na ho
tegh khincho meri gardan hi sahi

qabr-e-bulbul pe chalun rone ko
aaj gulzar mein shewan hi sahi

but to wallah bana lenge kabhi
shor-e-naqus barahman hi sahi

josh-e-wahshat hai dila najd ko chal
sair karne ke liye ban hi sahi

shama to yar chadhata hi nahin
dagh-e-dil qabr mein raushan hi sahi

haal kuchh mere gareban mein nahin
ai junun dasht ka daman hi sahi

koi ham-chashm to ho zindan mein
hairati dida-e-rauzan hi sahi

missi malida dahan mein hai kalam
bosa-ha-e-ghuncha-e-sausan hi sahi

naseha us ki burai to na kar
na sahi dost wo dushman hi sahi

gul-rukhon se to hui qata umid
'mehr' nazzara-e-gulshan hi sahi
