hangama garm hasti-e-na-paedar ka
chashmak hai barq ki ki tabassum sharar ka

main jo shahid hun lab-e-khandan-e-yar ka
kya kya charagh hansta hai mere mazar ka

ho raaz-e-dil na yar se poshida yar ka
parda na darmiyan ho jo dil ke ghubar ka

us ru-e-tabnak pe har qatra-e-araq
goya ki ek sitara hai subh-e-bahaar ka

hai ain-e-wasl mein bhi meri chashm su-e-dar
lapka jo pad gaya hai mujhe intizar ka

pahunchega tere pas kabutar se pesh-tar
maktub-e-shauq uda ke tere be-qarar ka

ho pak-damanon ko khalish gar se kya khatar
khatka nahin nigah ko mizhgan ke khar ka

bujhne ki dil ki aag nahin zer-e-khak bhi
hoga darakht gor pe meri chinar ka

dekh apne dar-e-gosh ko aariz se muttasil
dekha na ho sitara jo subh-e-bahaar ka

puchhe hai kya halawt-e-talkhaba-e-sarishk
sharbat hai bagh-e-khuld-e-barin ke anar ka

hai dil ki dao ghat mein mizhgan se chashm-e-yar
hai shauq us ki tatti ki ojhal shikar ka

qasid likhun lifafa-e-khat ko ghubar se
ta jaane wo ye khat hai kisi khaksar ka

ai 'zauq' hosh gar hai to duniya se dur bhag
is mai-kade mein kaam nahin hoshiyar ka
