dekha ata hua jo gulon ko ghubar mein
masruf hain ghataen chaman ke nikhaar mein

itne hain dagh aa nahin sakte shumar mein
til bhar ki bhi jagah na dil-e-dagh-dar mein

sau mein bhala hai ab na bhala hai hazar mein
barakat hi ab rahi na kisi karobar mein

panw ke aablon se mere aa ke puchhiye
kya lazzat-o-maza hai nihan nok-e-khar mein

jita hun un ki abru-e-khamdar dekh kar
pinhan hai zindagi meri khanjar ki dhaar mein

hoga wafa na wada-e-farda tamam umr
rakkhenge hashr tak wo mujhe intizar mein

is muddat-e-madid ki kuchh intiha bhi hai
roz-e-azal se hashr ke hun intizar mein

jaankandani se chhut ke aa kar pade the hum
aate hi aan pahunche farishte mazar mein

mujh sa milega chahne wala na aap ko
das bis mein pachas mein sau mein hazar mein

sayyaad tujh sa hoga na koi sitam-zarif
bulbul ko qaid karta hai fasl-e-bahaar mein

bigdi ka apni zikr karun un se kis ghadi
rahte hain har ghadi wo banao-singhaar mein

rakhte hain sath jeb mein kangha aur aaina
rahte hain ab to mard bhi har-dam singhaar mein

saudagari bhi sauda hai jab tajraba nahin
de baithe sab dukan wo apni udhaar mein

har-dam nigah dar pe meri hai lagi hui
aankhen hain farsh-e-rah tere intizar mein

ahl-e-sukhan ki zarra-nawazi hai ye 'ata'
ahl-e-sukhan ke aa gae hum bhi shumar mein
