baithe jo sham se tere dar pe sahar hui
afsos ai qamar ki na mutlaq khabar hui

arman-e-wasl yunhi raha so gae nasib
jab aankh khul gai to yakayak sahar hui

dil aashiqon ke chhid gae tirchhi nigah se
mizhgan ki nok-e-dushman-e-jaani jigar hui

pachhtata hun ki aankh abas tum se lad gai
barchhi hamare haq mein tumhaari nazar hui

chhani kahan na khak na paya kahin tumhein
mitti meri kharab abas dar-ba-dar hui

dhyan aa gaya jo sham ko us zulf ka 'rasa'
uljhan mein sari raat hamari basar hui
