gar ho tamancha-band wo rashk-e-firangiyan
banke mughal bache na karen khana-jangiyan

shokhi-mizaj us ke se ab tak gai nahin
waise hi bankpan hain wahi ghola-dangiyan

bulbul ke ashk-e-surkh ne ye kya ghazab kiya
jo tiliyan qafas ki sabhi khun mein rangiyan

gardun agarche din ko ghazal-e-siyah hai
par shab ko mere sath kare hai palangiyan

dekha na hoga wo kabhi 'bezan' ne chah mein
jo din mujhe dikhati hain qismat ki tangiyan

aariz pe tere joshash-e-khatt-e-siyah hai
ya rome par chadh aai hai ye fauj-e-zangiyan

kya jaane kis se bigdi hai dariya mein 'mushafi'
lahron ke hathon mein hain jo talwaren nangiyan
