chahiye parhez-e-gardish chashm-e-shokh-e-yar ko
ghumne se jab ziyan hai mardum-e-bimar ko

hun mariz-e-ishq hai ye dard mera la-dawa
hogi sehhat kya masiha se tere bimar ko

nawak-e-be-par agar hai us ki mizhgan-e-daraaz
qaus kyon samjhe na aashiq abru-e-khamdar ko

meri hi nafrat ne ki ulfat raqibon se siwa
wasl ki daulat mayassar kyon na ho aghyar ko

sham-e-ghurbat hijr mein to wasl mein subh-e-watan
dekhta hun apne ghar mein saya-e-diwar ko

kya qayamat hai daraazi-e-shab-e-yalda-e-hijr
roz-e-mahshar par jo rakkha wada-e-didar ko

ek dirham ki ise khwahish to lakhon ki use
shukr muflis se ziyaada hai kahin zardar ko

naqd-e-jaan de kar zulekha ne liya sauda-e-ishq
husn-e-yusuf ki jo dekha garmi-e-bazar ko

ibn-e-adam se bhi chhini ishq hi ne saltanat
kar diya muhtaj isi ne malik-e-dinar ko

is zamane mein badi hoti hai zardaron ki qadr
puchhta hai kaun 'ajiz' muflis-e-nadar ko
