ba-qadr-e-zarf mohabbat ka karobar chale
maza to jab hai ki har lamha zikr-e-yar chale

teri nigah ke jab ahl-e-dil pe war chale
khizan-nasib chaman jaanib-e-bahaar chale

utar na jae kahin tere husn ki rangat
ki teri bazm se ab tere jaan-nisar chale

jo aa gai kabhi sar dene ki ghadi ai dost
khushi khushi tere diwane su-e-dar chale

udas dekh ke mahaul-e-mai-kada saqi
niyaz-mand-e-wafa aaj sogwar chale

maal-e-lazzat-e-shauq-e-visal ki saugand
qarar mangne aae the be-qarar chale

khayal-e-baada-kashi aa gaya jo ai 'maikash'
adab se jaanib-e-mai-khana baada-khwar chale
