aankh hairan hai ye sad-rangi-e-jalwa kya hai
shahr kahta hai abhi aap ne dekha kya hai

kaun aaya hai pai-e-chaara-gari dekh to le
aakhir ai dard-e-jigar tera irada kya hai

chhod gulshan ko kisi rashk-e-chaman-zar ko dekh
zauq-e-nazzara yahan bazm mein rakkha kya hai

uf wo aaza-shikani nind mein dubi aankhen
zikr-e-mai-khana hai kya tishna-e-sahba kya hai

ye bhi tadbir hai tajdid-e-talluq ki 'shakeb'
puchhiye ja ke wo apne ko samajhta kya hai
