har ghadi umr-e-faromaya ki qimat mange
mujh se aaina mera meri hi surat mange

dur rah kar hi jo aankhon ko bhale lagte hain
dil-e-diwana magar un ki hi qurbat mange

puchhte kya ho in aankhon ki udasi ka sabab
khwab jo dekhe wo khwabon ki haqiqat mange

apne daman mein chhupa le mere ashkon ke charagh
aur kya tujh se koi ai shab-e-furqat mange

wo nigah kahti hai baithe raho mahfil mein abhi
dil ki aashuftagi uthne ki ijazat mange

zahr pi kar bhi jiyun main ye alag baat magar
zindagi us lab-e-rangin ki halawat mange

zeb dete nahin ye turra-o-dastar mujhe
meri shorida-sari sang-e-malamat mange
