har chand ki lae the jigar chir ke moti
arzan hi rahe nala-e-shab-gir ke moti

ek man ne bilakte hue bachchon ke liye shab
beche kisi bazar mein tauqir ke moti

har rang jamate hain yaqin-tab badan ka
in khwab se honton pe asatir ke moti

dahliz-e-mohabbat se samete hain hamesha
tare kisi shirin ke kisi hir ke moti

khamoshi kahegi khalish-e-jaan ka fasana
palkon se chune jaenge tasir ke moti

zulmat-kada-e-fikr mein taban hain azal se
ghaalib ke kahin 'mir'-taqi-'mir' ke moti

kafi se ziyaada hai ye tawan junun ka
hain kasa-e-zanu mein jo zanjir ke moti

ho jaenge mujh aise siyahkar ki khatir
bakhshish ka wasila gham-e-shabbir ke moti
