aaj phir shab ka hawala teri jaanib thahre
chand mazmun bane sharh-e-kawakib thahre

dad-o-tahsin ki boli nahin tafhim ka naqd
shart kuchh to mere bikne ki munasib thahre

nek guzre meri shab sidq-e-badan se tere
gham nahin rabta-e-subh jo kazib thahre

mukhlisi bais-e-tazhik zehanat dushman
ye mahasin to mere haq mein maaib thahre

main hun khud se mutaqabil mutabaadil mutazad
ruh thahre mera unwan kabhi qalib thahre

bat hi dil ke juda hon to bhala kaun aakhir
kis ka ham-wazn ba-mizan-e-matalib thahre
