chashmak-zani mein karti nahin yar ka lihaz
nargis ki aankh mein bhi nahin hai zara lihaz

be-gali ab to baat bhi karte nahin kabhi
wo ibtida mein karte the be-intiha lihaz

tanha main aur itne wahan hain mere raqib
naz-o-ada ghamza-o-sharm-o-haya lihaz

saqi ki be-rukhi ki kahan tab thi magar
pir-e-mughan ki ruh ka karna pada lihaz

kya wasf-e-chashm-e-yar karun is ke samne
nargis se hai faqat mujhe ek aankh ka lihaz

hurmat badi hai us ki na kar hajw is qadar
lazim hai dukht-e-raz ka tujhe waiza lihaz

nikli na khum se bazm-e-jawanan-e-mast mein
pir-e-mughan ka bint-e-inab ne kiya lihaz

phir mujh se is tarah ki na kijega dil-lagi
khair us ghadi to aap ka main kar gaya lihaz

be-khud sharab-e-shauq ne shab ko ye kar diya
un ko raha hijab na mujh ko raha lihaz

qurban is hijab ke is sharm ke nisar
itna na aashiqon se kar ai mah-laqa lihaz

mahjub hai mizaj 'qalaq' apna is qadar
karte hain apne khurd ka bhi hum bura lihaz
