dil hai harif partaw-e-husn-e-shabab ka
zarra bana hua hai jawab aaftab ka

phir zikr aa gaya hai azab-o-sawab ka
lana utha ke wo mera saghar sharab ka

har wahm be-sabaat hai har muddaa khayal
yani ye zindagi nahin aalam hai khwab ka

musa samajh rahe the tajalli ki jis ko mauj
gosha sarak gaya tha kisi ki naqab ka

wo hain ki chaak kar bhi chuke arz-e-shauq ko
main hun ki muntazir hun abhi tak jawab ka

'makhmur' koi bhi nazar aata nahin hasin
allah re hausla nigah-e-baryab ka
