mai-kada mere liye ja-e-tasadum to nahin
lakh nashsha hai magar hosh mere gum to nahin

mo'tariz kyun hai zamana meri betabi par
khamushi ki hi ada hai ye takallum to nahin

kyun safina meri hasti ka ho gharqab-e-fana
jazr-o-mad dil ka hai dariya ka talatum to nahin

ab khata-kosh na hon mujh ko ye tambih bhi hai
ai khata-posh ye kuchh shan-e-tarahhum to nahin

us ki fariyaad ka kyun tum pe asar hota hai
aur koi hai 'munawar' ka khuda tum to nahin
