tez hai pine mein ho jaegi aasani mujhe
zamzami se de de zahid to zara pani mujhe

dekhna nazuk bhi hain kamsin bhi hain bhole bhi hain
sham se samjha rahi hai un ki nadani mujhe

baat bigdi wasl mein bigdi jo tu ai zulf-e-yar
kuchh pareshani tujhe hai kuchh pareshani mujhe

hath utha kar rah gae aankhen jhuka kar rah gae
tegh-e-uryan ki pasand aai jo uryani mujhe

ban gaya hun aaina ai jalwa-ha-e-barq-e-tur
mil gai hai un ki aaine ki hairani mujhe

aap use darban bataen uzr mujh ko kuchh nahin
saunpiye ghar ghair ko apni nigahbani mujhe

khub rota hun bagulon se lipat kar dasht mein
yaad aati hai jo apne ghar ki virani mujhe

fasl-e-gul mein rang laya hai shabab-e-dukht-e-raz
chhedti hai aa ke raaton ko ye mastani mujhe

bol utha joban kisi se bhi nahin dabne ka main
saunpiye sarkar ab apni nigahbani mujhe

raaz sar-basta raha kab chaak-damani ka haal
ai saba dikhla na apni pak-damani mujhe

wae qismat pad gai kaisi girah-e-taqdir mein
uqda-e-mushkil nazar aati hai aasani mujhe

ab kahan taqdir mein hain ghunt shahd-o-shir ke
yaad aati hai kisi shai ki farawani mujhe

chashm-e-rahm ai saqi-e-kausar ki ab milta nahin
tishnagan-e-karbala ke nam par pani mujhe

shah-e-dauran hazrat-e-'hamid'-ali-khan ke siwa
kaun hai jis ki tawajjoh se ho aasani mujhe

roz-afzun ho taraqqi daulat-o-iqbaal ki
aur mil jae dar-e-daulat ki darbani mujhe

chahta hai qais se achchhi rahe shakl-e-'riyaz'
ban chuka main kyun banata hai are mani mujhe
