pahle to faqat us ka talabgar hua main
phir ishq mein khud apne giraftar hua main

aankhon mein basa jab bhi koi ajnabi chehra
ek lazzat-e-be-nam se do-chaar hua main

main yusuf-e-sani na 'zulekha' na wo darbar
kya soch ke ruswa sar-e-bazar hua main

ek umr bagulon ke taaqub mein guzari
phir apni hi parchhain se bezar hua main

main munsif-e-dauran na faqihon mein hun shamil
kis jurm mein be-jubba-o-dastar hua main

haq-goi ki padash mein mansur ki surat
har daur mein waqf-e-rasan-o-dar hua main

main apne hi hone se gurezan hua 'khusraw'
iqrar ki surat kabhi inkar hua main
