girya-o-zari ka saman uTha lete hain

girya-o-zari ka saman utha lete hain
hijr mein 'mir' ka diwan utha lete hain
koi laila bhi nahin apni kahani mein magar
sar pe hum dasht-o-bayaban utha lete hain


hum ko talwar se raghbat to nahin hai sain
han magar ho ke pareshan utha lete hain
aise tajir ki jinhen sud gawara ho faqat
rah-e-ulfat mein wo nuqsan utha lete hain


main mukhatib hun kisi aur munafiq se miyan
aap kyon hath mein quran utha lete hain
be-jhijhak aap mohabbat ko jataya kije
hum hasinon ke to ehsan utha lete hain
