behaal dil ka haal karun to ghazal kahun
jine ka phir malal karun to ghazal kahun

dil to misal-e-sang hai tutega kya bhala
khasta-jigar ka haal karun to ghazal kahun

ye rang chaar roza hai ranai chaar roz
jo husn la-zawal karun to ghazal kahun

hai lutf is miyana-rawi mein bhala kahan
kuchh amr ba-kamal karun to ghazal kahun

mausam na sard garm na tufan ka zor hai
ab khud hi kuchh wabaal karun to ghazal kahun

muddat hui habib se shikwa kiye hue
ab us se kuchh sawal karun to ghazal kahun

hain is jahan mein achchhe sukhnawar hazar-ha
'nikhat' ko be-misal karun to ghazal kahun
