dekha na hum ne rashk se aghyar ki taraf
munh pher baithe bazm mein diwar ki taraf

sail-e-sarishk apne hi ghar mein bahaenge
kyon jae ye bala teri diwar ki taraf

baithe bithae aae jo shamat to kya ilaj
dil ne kaha ki aao chalen yar ki taraf

chahi thi dad hum ne dil-e-saf ki magar
aaina ho gaya tere rukhsar ki taraf

taswir ko bhi us ki yahan tak ghurur hai
dekhe kabhi na talib-e-didar ki taraf

taqsir mai-farosh ki ai mohtasib nahin
ye chiz ud ke jati hai mai-khwar ki taraf

di jaan kis khushi se tah-e-tegh 'dagh' ne
lab par tabassum aur nazar yar ki taraf
