hawa ka shor sada-e-sahab mere liye
jahan-e-jabr ka har iztirab mere liye

sulagta jata hun main aur padhta jata hun
khula pada hai zamane ka bab mere liye

main muntazir tha jahan par gulab khilne ka
wahin pareshan thi bu-e-gulab mere liye

ye meri umr ki shab ye udi hui ninden
na koi khwab na afsun-e-khwab mere liye

tabah kar diya ahde-jawan ki baaton ne
shabab is ke liye tha sharab mere liye

jahan hai nashsha-e-khwab-e-sahar mein khoya hua
hai sar pe aaya hua aaftab mere liye

raha hai dhyan mein ek jism chand sa 'jafar'
hui wahan hai shab-e-mahtab mere liye
