dawa-e-did kiya jab kisi shaidai ne
chaar-su aag chhidak di teri ranai ne

lakh dhoke diye rangini-o-ranai ne
aankh utha kar bhi na dekha tere shaidai ne

un marizan-e-mohabbat ki dawa hai na dua
kar diya jin pe karam teri masihai ne

dub kar dil ne kiya gharq safina aakhir
bahr-e-ulfat mein duboya nahin gahrai ne

naqsh-e-pa un ka magar sar ko mayassar na hua
dar-ba-dar khwar kiya zauq-e-jabin-sai ne

sang hain guhar-e-guhar jin ki ziya bakhshi se
bazm-e-hasti mein kuchh aise bhi to hain aaine

hum ne dekha to zamane ki nazar us pe uthi
bhar diya rang tamashe mein tamashai ne

dekhne hi na diya un ko 'rishi' mahfil mein
kuchh tahayyur ne kuchh andesha-e-ruswai ne
