husn ko us ke khat ka dagh laga
par hamein to bahaar o bagh laga

ghar se jun mah-e-be-hijab nikal
ab to ai shama-ru charagh laga

baadshahon ki bazm-e-ishrat se
apna mat gosha-e-faragh laga

aatishin ashk ek dam jo thama
khana-e-dida be-charagh laga

le khabar ab tu saqi-e-sar-e-dast
khushk hone mera dimagh laga

kis ko ye khun-e-dil mili daulat
us ke honton se ja ayagh laga

dil-e-gum-gashta ka mere 'hasrat'
lag sake to kahin suragh laga
