jab dant khol kar lab-e-sahil wo hans pade
dariya mein mare sharm ke gauhar palat gaya

hum samjhe bazm-e-baada mein gardish nasib ki
munh tak hamare aa ke jo saghar palat gaya

us jaan-e-jaan ne ghair ki jaanib jo rukh kiya
sine mein dil mera bhi barabar palat gaya

kuche se zulf-e-yar ke mahrum main phira
zulmat mein nasib-e-sikandar palat gaya

daulat-kade mein wo shah-e-khuban na jab mila
de kar duaen us ka qalandar palat gaya

wo bad-nasib hun mere bahkane ke liye
manind-e-ghol rah mein rahbar palat gaya

main zahr-e-ishq-e-zulf se 'shaida' bachunga kya
mujh ko ye sanp kat ke yaksar palat gaya
