josh-e-wahshat mein gareban pe nazar hai shayad
yahi diwane ka saman-e-safar hai shayad

main to sirf aap ki badnami ka karta hun khayal
aap ko bhi meri ruswai ka dar hai shayad

un ke daman pe jo tapka tha khushi ka aansu
main to samjha tha darakhshanda guhar hai shayad

raunda jata hai jo pairon se abas maqtal mein
ye kisi aashiq-e-nakaam ka sar hai shayad

be-piye hosh-faramosh hain sare mai-kash
un ki makhmur nigahon ka asar hai shayad

zulf-o-rukh dekh ke 'ahmad' ye guman hota hai
sham ki god mein betab sahar hai shayad
