ishq hai us zulf ka sartaj aaj
hai rasul-e-husn ki mearaj aaj

nok-e-mizhgan par nahin hai lakht-e-dil
dar par khincha gaya hallaj aaj

tark chashm-e-yar ke tewar hain aur
khirman-e-taqat ka hai taraj aaj

tegh-e-abru kal padi dil par mere
tir mizhgan ka hua aamaj aaj

chuse hain us ke misi aaluda-lab
main ne nilam ka kiya pokhraj aaj

wasl ki marzi thi kal us shokh ki
phir gaya wo waqt-e-istimzaj aaj

likkha hai jo wasf abru ka 'waqar'
sher-sheari se na le kyun baj aaj
