fariyaad bhi main kar na saka be-khabari se
dil khinch liya us ne kamand-e-nazari se

us but ko kiya ram na soz-e-jigri se
nale mere badnam hue be-asari se

kab dil pe asar karta hai zalim ka tamalluq
milte hain kahin zakhm-e-jigar bakhiya-gari se

hai saya-fagan taza nihaal-e-chaman-e-husn
nisbat mere dil ko hai aqiq-e-shajri se

ud jate tere hosh mere naghmon se bulbul
kar shukr ki majbur hun be-baal-o-pari se

har lutf se khali hai farogh-e-dam-e-piri
raushan hua ye nur charagh-e-sahari se

daman ki kali baad-e-saba khol sake kab
satir nahin darte hain kabhi parda-dari se

ulfat ka shajar sarw-qadon ki hai hari shakh
ushshaq ko bawar hua ye be-samari se

kahte hain wo sun kar khabar-e-rehlat-e-ushshaq
jaldi gaya kahna tha hamein kuchh safari se

hon lakh khatar kucha-e-dilbar na chhutega
uth sakti hai zillat bhi kahin mard-e-jari se

nafrat nahin lazim tujhe zalim ewaz-e-rahm
baitha hun main dil kho ke teri hila-gari se

aamil karen ek bar agar band to mai-kash
khali karen sau martaba shishe ko pari se

kar dete hain yun harza-dara ko kamla-band
lab zakhm ke jis tarah milen bakhiya-gari se

aghyar hue kab meri nakaami ka bais
mahrumiyan paida huin aashufta-sari se

kar ghair ko apna ki muradon ka nishan de
bekar wo paikan hai juda ho jo sari se

aamal-e-'habib'-e-jigar-afgar ki kashti
sahil pe pahunch jaegi ashkon ki tari se
