aao kuchh gardish-e-taqdir ka shikwa kar len
jis se mahrum rahe us ki tamanna kar len

jis taraf dekhiye aaine hi aaine hain
apni surat ka ba-sad-rang tamasha kar len

husn majbur hai khud jalwa-numai pe magar
maslahat ye hai ki kuchh hum bhi taqaza kar len

naunihaalan-e-chaman tishna na ho jaen kahin
aao kuchh khun-e-jigar aur muhayya kar len

jeb-o-daman mein abhi fasla kuchh baqi hai
minnaten aap ki hum hazrat-e-isa kar len

gul ki rag rag mein nazar aaega mali ka lahu
wa agar ahl-e-nazar dida-e-bina kar len

baat 'arshi' ki nazar aati hai gar uthli si
imtihan is ka na kyon qibla-o-kaba kar len
