apne ahbab ko ashaar sunane nikla
main bhi kin logon mein sar apna khapane nikla

baad-e-koshish bhi na didar ki surat nikli
chand badli se kisi aur bahane nikla

is ko talim o mohabbat ki zarurat hai abhi
kam-sini mein ye jo be-chaara kamane nikla

chand ko dekh ke tara bhi badal kar poshak
bazm-e-ahbab mein rang apna jamane nikla

meri shohrat ka diya shams na ban jae kahin
koi is waste tauqir ghatane nikla
