us shoala-ru se jab se meri aankh ja lagi
kya jaane tab se sine mein kya aag aa lagi

kabe mein wo zuhur hai jo but-kade mein hai
ai shaikh munsifi se tu kahiyo khuda-lagi

pa tak bhi dastaras na ho mujh ko ye rashk hai
aur tere hath mein rahe qatil hina lagi

dushnam tum ne mujh ko jo di to main khush hua
aur main ne di dua to tujhe bad-dua lagi

wo ghuncha-lab jo khanda-zanan hai chaman mein aaj
shayad gulon ke khilne ki us ko hawa lagi

khwabida bakht ne wahin bedar kar diya
tere khayal mein jo ye aankh ek zara lagi

'ghamgin' jo ek aan pe tere ada hua
kya khush ada use teri ai khush-ada lagi
