dard wo tu ne diya jis ka mudawa na hua
tera bimar masiha se bhi achchha na hua

aap hi kahiye ki ye ghamza-e-be-ja na hua
mujh se parda hua aur ghair se parda na hua

be-murawwat na sahi aap magar ye kya hai
mujh se parda hua aur ghair se parda na hua

aap ki sharm bhi duniya se nirali nikli
mujh se parda hua aur ghair se parda na hua

tu tadap apni dikhane to chala hai ai dil
aur wo shokh agar mahw-e-tamasha na hua

dekhte hi mujhe barsana ye patthar kaisa
tera aashiq na hua main koi diwana hua

wo shab-e-wasl bhi aae to chadhae tewar
bakht-bargashta mera aaj bhi sidha na hua

mere hisse ka na saqi ne bhara jam ab tak
aur labrez yahan umr ka paimana hua

hur ho is but-e-raana ke muqabil tauba
waizo tum ko ata dida-e-bina na hua

hans pada chupke se wo ghuncha-dahan kuchh kah kar
aisa ye wasl ka wada hua goya na hua

haif-sad-haif ki rahm aa hi gaya qatil ko
na hua shauq-e-shahadat mera pura na hua

hath aaya na kabhi wo gul-e-nakhl-e-khubi
kabhi sarsabz mera bagh-e-tamanna na hua

qabil-e-zikr thi kis din na meri ruswai
yar ki bazm mein kis din mera charcha na hua

bakht chamka na kabhi mere siyah-khane ka
mera mehman kabhi wo but-e-raana na hua

aankh utha kar bhi na dekha mere lashe ki taraf
us sitamgar se itna bhi to dekha na hua

chashm-e-saqi ka tasawwur hua rahbar mera
jab rawana kabhi main jaanib-e-mai-khana hua

sakht-jaani ne meri mujh ko kiya kya nadim
hausla yar ki talwar ka pura na hua

lakh mara kiya sar khanjar-e-qatil 'nashtar'
sakht-jaani ka meri baal bhi bika na hua
