jam tha khum tha subu tha majma-e-ahbab tha
shaikh ka in sab mein chehra kis qadar shadab tha

main ne dekha raat meri god mein mahtab tha
aap hi tabir us ki den ye kaisa khwab tha

qais diwana tera ai laili-e-mahmil-nashin
teri surat dekhne ko kis qadar betab tha

wo quli tha ya tha koi kath ka ullu murid
pith par lade hue jo shaikh ka asbab tha

us ne ye achchha kiya jo aqd hi padhwa liya
dil muridan ke liye jab surat-e-simab tha

kyun na dadhi apni karta jumbish-e-razor ki bhent
khanda-zan is shakl par jab halqa-e-ahbab tha

raat bhar main ne sanwari zulf-e-laila-e-ghazal
sher ki aamad thi 'hashim' ya koi sailab tha
