khirqa-poshi mein khud-numai hai
hath bas kasa-e-gadai hai

boriya bhi nahin use darkar
jis ke tain shauq-e-be-riyai hai

gul sab hanste hain bazm-e-gulshan mein
ishq-e-bulbul magar riyai hai

jald jati hai aasman upar
aah meri ajab hawai hai

sham-e-mina ke nur sun saqi
mahfil dil mein raushnai hai

har ghadi dekhta hai darpan kun
shokh mein tarz-e-khud-numai hai

jab sun dekha hun us ki zulf-e-daraaz
tab sun mujh fikr mein rasai hai

kan u dekha hai khwab mein makhmal
tujh kaf-e-pa mein jo safai hai

kyun na hue mah-e-nau misal-e-aziz
jis mane rasm-e-kam-numai hai

dast-e-gul-ru mein pahunchne 'daud'
kaghaz-e-khat mera hinai hai
