dagh husn-e-qamar bhi hota hai
aib rashk-e-hunar bhi hota hai

ishq ai husn be-basar hi sahi
ye haqiqat-nigar bhi hota hai

husn hota hai kuchh to husn-e-nazar
kuchh fareb-e-nazar bhi hota hai

tod dale jo dil ka aaina
wahi aaina-gar bhi hota hai

duri-e-rang-o-bu hazar sahi
hijr paigham-bar bhi hota hai

hae tul-e-hayat-e-ishq 'sahab'
koi lamha basar bhi hota hai
