bazm-e-surud-e-khuban mein go mardnagin shahin bajin
sath faqir ki dholak ke par dham-dhamyan rangin bajin

nala-kashi se raat jo gulshan rashk-e-bazm-e-ishrat tha
minqaren murghan-e-chaman ki subh talak jun bin bajin

tujh se na kahta tha main zahid mai-khane ki rah na chal
aakhir tujh par raste hi mein taliyan o be-din bajin

main jo nashe mein raat hua ghatpat us mashuq ki chhati sath
pazeben panw ki us ke kya hi ba-sad tamkin bajin

shama rahi shab jab tak jalti mujh ko na aai nind zara
jhanjhen parwane ke paron ki bas ki sar-e-baalin bajin

balbe mizaj-e-nazuk tera nind uchat gai us gul ki
baaliyan patton se jo ulajh kar raat sar-e-baalin bajin

wada kar ke jab wo na aaya sair-e-chaman ko dil ne kaha
raat gai chal bagh se ab ghadiyan to kai ghamgin bajin

ji ka kudhana mere tha manzur magar ghadyalon ki
wasl ki shab jo ta-ba-sahar ghadyalen be-ain bajin

dedh pahar thahrunga ye kah ki yar mere ghar aaya tha
par ghabra ke jaane ko uttha junhi pahar par tin bajin

bang-e-hamir se kam wo na samjha bas ki nafis-mizaj tha yar
naqusen but-khanon mein har chand ba-sad tazin bajin

aae bahtari ho ke malaek mar jo gaya aashiq tera
naubaten kya kya shadi ki marqad mein dam-e-talqin bajin

wasl ki shab aakhir hone ka 'mushafi' dhadka kya main kahun
ji hi gaya bas tan se nikal jab tin pahar par tin bajin
