is iltifat par koi daman na tham le
hai maslahat yahi ki taghaful se kaam le

kuchh der ki khushi se to behtar hai gham mujhe
meri taraf na dekh na mera salam le

main bhi to teri bazm mein aaya hun der se
ab tu bhi mujh se ho ke khafa intiqam le

ji bhar ke pahle apni nazar se pila mujhe
warna ye mai-kada le surahi le jam le

meri nigah-e-shauq pe phir kijiyo nazar
pahle zara khud apne kaleje ko tham le

mahfil mein sab ke samne dad-e-ghazal na de
yun dil hi dil mein shauq se lutf-e-kalam le

jis ne kabhi khulus bhi manga na ho tera
is ahl-e-dil ka nam ba-sad-ehtiram le

jine na denge dekhne wale kabhi hamein
achchha ye hai ki jabr-e-mohabbat se kaam le

hai dekhna hi meri taraf to ba-ehtiyat
mahfil mein pahle jaeza-e-khas-o-am le

tera hun aur tera rahunga tamam umr
lekin mere liye na koi ittiham le

milna nasib mein hai to mil jaenge kabhi
jaan-e-'shamim' sabr-o-tahammul se kaam le
