na-tawan wo hun nigahon mein sama hi na sakun
bharun aankhon mein nazar sa nazar aa hi na sakun

dil jalana hai to ai mehr jala misl-e-kabab
dagh kuchh mohr nahin hai jo utha hi na sakun

tah-e-shamshir-e-do-dam khush hun ye shishe ki tarah
ek dam sang-dilon se main bana hi na sakun

ham-nashin yar ho kya ye hai nasibon mein firaq
jod aaza ke bhi ukhden to bitha hi na sakun

khud faramosh hun aisa ki dil-e-be-khud se
yaad us but ki bhulaun to bhula hi na sakun

khama sa hai azali sina-figari meri
zakhm-e-dil lakh silaun pa sila hi na sakun

dastaras kakul-e-khamdar ye hona hi muhaal
ye wo nagan hai jo hathon pe khila hi na sakun

naznin ye hai ki ai 'shad' nazar-bazon ko
kamar us ki jo dikhaun to dikha hi na sakun
