gul ki khushbu ki tarah aankh ke aansu ki tarah
dil pareshan hai gard-e-ram-e-ahu ki tarah

jo gul-andam makinon ko taraste hain hanuz
shahar mein kitne khandar hain mere pahlu ki tarah

zulf-e-giti ko bhi aaina-o-shana mil jae
tum sanwar jao jo aaraish-e-gesu ki tarah

raqs karta hai zar-o-sim ki jhankar pe fan
marmarin farsh pe bajte hue ghunghru ki tarah

aaj bhi shobda-e-ahl-e-hawas hai insaf
dast-e-baqqal mein purkar taraazu ki tarah

mahsharistan-e-sukun hai meri hasti 'mahir'
kisi shahbaz ke tute hue bazu ki tarah
