agarche aah-e-sar-e-sham bhi zaruri hai
dil-e-sitam-zada aaram bhi zaruri hai

sitam-shiar ki tafrih-e-samea ke liye
kharosh-e-murgh-e-tah-e-dam bhi zaruri hai

ziya-e-kirmak-e-shab-tab hi nahin kafi
sitara-e-sahar-anjam bhi zaruri hai

giran-baha hai mabahis ki shabnam-agini
agarche burrish-e-samsam bhi zaruri hai

badi hai baat to munh bhi bada muhayya kar
phir is ke sath bada nam bhi zaruri hai

sukut gul ka agar na-guzir hai 'jafar'
to andalib ka kohram bhi zaruri hai
