dekhti aankhon ne dekha hai shabistanon mein
jazba marne ka abhi zinda hai parwanon mein

kitna pur-haul hai mahaul shab-e-furqat ka
khun bhi khushk hua jata hai shiryanon mein

kaam aaya na gala phadta ai shaikh tera
nazar aati hain wahi raunaqen mai-khanon mein

sitam-e-taza pe yun shukr-e-sitam karta hun
jaise ek aur izafa hua ehsanon mein

ai 'wafa' ahl-e-zaban ki hai inayat ye bhi
ki shumar aaj hamara hai zaban-danon mein
