didar waqt-e-naza mayassar hua to kya
ab mail-e-karam wo sitamgar hua to kya

ji uthte kushtagan-e-mohabbat to baat thi
barpa khiram-e-naz se mahshar hua to kya

roz-e-azal raha to sahi imtiyaz kuchh
gham mere waste jo muqaddar hua to kya

sarmastiyon mein kaif nahin hai to kuchh nahin
labrez agar sharab se saghar hua to kya

mear hi buland hai zauq-e-nigah ka
aalam tamam husn ka manzar hua to kya

maujud wahshaten bhi hain charkh-e-kuhan bhi hai
aaram gardishon se jo dam bhar hua to kya

un ki jafa se khak mein aashiq to mil chuke
ab qissa ek jahan ki zaban par hua to kya

ishq-e-jafa se yar ko fursat na chahiye
aalam qatil-e-chashm-e-fusun-gar hua to kya

wahshi kahin hui hain bhala talkhiyan bhi kam
dil apna lakh ranj ka khugar hua to kya
