bazm-e-hasti ko ba-sad-hasrat-e-tamir na dekh
shama se rabt badha shama ki tanwir na dekh

soz-e-fitrat kahin kaghaz pe utar sakta hai
mera dil dekhne wale meri taswir na dekh

teri sharminda-nigahi ki qasam hai tujh ko
kis ke sine mein utarti hai ye shamshir na dekh

tod sakta hai tilism-e-sahr-o-sham junun
tauq-e-gardan pe na ja panw ki zanjir na dekh

bare kaam aa to gaya khun-e-tamanna ai dost
mera afsana meri shokhi-e-tahrir na dekh

chhod jaana hai tujhe naqsh chaman mein apna
fikr-e-anjam na kar hasil-e-tadbir na dekh

tujh ko fitrat ke taqazon ki khabar kya zahid
dekh rahmat ki nigahen meri taqsir na dekh

dil ki har laghzish-e-masum pe sau khuld nisar
masti-e-jurm samajh shorish-e-tazir na dekh

dekh us ko ki jiye jata hai hans hans ke 'adib'
mujh se pesh aati hai kyunkar meri taqdir na dekh
