husn ka ek aah ne chehra nidhaal kar diya
aaj to ai dil-e-hazin tu ne kamal kar diya

sahta raha jafa-e-dost kahta raha ada-e-dost
mere khulus ne mera jina muhaal kar diya

mai-kade mein hai qaht-e-mai ya koi aur baat hai
pir-e-mughan ne kyun mujhe jam sambhaal kar diya

jitne chaman-parast the saya-e-gul mein mast the
apna uruj-e-gulistan nazr-e-zawal kar diya

khud mera soz-e-jaan-gudaz chhed saka na dil ka saz
aap ki ek nigah ne sahab-e-haal kar diya

bazm mein sare ahl-e-hosh un ke sitam pe the khamosh
ek junun-parast ne uth ke sawal kar diya

lutf-e-firaq-e-yar ne lazzat-e-intizar ne
dur dil o nigah se shauq-e-visal kar diya

sun ke bayan-e-mai-kada dekh ke shan-e-mai-kada
shaikh-e-haram ne bhi 'fana' mai ko halal kar diya
