chhup ke us ne jo khud-numai ki
intiha thi ye dilrubai ki

mail-e-ghamza hai wo chashm-e-siyah
ab nahin khair parsai ki

hum se kyunkar wo aastana chhute
muddaton jis pe jabha-sai ki

dil ne barson ba-justuju-e-kamal
kucha-e-ishq mein gadai ki

dam se un ke chhutna to kahan
yan hawas bhi nahin rihai ki

kya kiya ye ki ahl-e-shauq ke sath
tu ne ki bhi to bewafai ki

ho ke nadim wo baithe hain khamosh
sulh mein shan hai ladai ki

us taghaful-shiar se 'hasrat'
hum mein taqat nahin judai ki
