farebon se na bahlega dil-e-ashufta-kaam apna
ba-zahir muskura kar dekhne wale salam apna

kisi ki bazm ke haalat ne samjha diya mujh ko
ki jab saqi nahin apna to mai apni na jam apna

agar apne dil-e-betab ko samjha liya main ne
to ye kafir nigahen kar sakengi intizam apna

mukammal kar gaya jal kar hayat-e-gham ko parwana
aur ek hum the ki afsana bhi chhoda na-tamam apna

jahan-e-ishq mein aise maqamon se bhi guzra hun
ki baz-auqat khud karna pada hai ehtiram apna

main diwana sahi lekin wo khush-qismat hun ai 'mahshar'
ki duniya ki zaban par aa gaya hai aaj nam apna
