kab talak piwega tu tar-damanon se mil ke mul
ek dam ai ghuncha-lab hum se kabhi to khil ke khul

be-sar-o-bargon ko kya nisbat hai sair-e-bagh se
dagh-e-dil hain hum tahi-dastan-e-pa dar-gil ke gul

us ki jang-e-be-sabab ka hai taghaful hi ilaj
aap dhela ho ke aawega idhar dhal dhal ke dhul

zer-e-abru is tarah mizhgan nahin rahti mudam
sar pe mere jun rahe hai tegh us qatil ki tul

rabt kuchh bazm-e-mashaekh se nahin rindon ke tain
kab liye ye mast saghar ke siwa qulqul ki qul

ho sake to bakhiya o marham ka yaro waqt hai
jaan na jawe is tan-e-majruh mein ghael ke ghul

ba-qad-e-kham-gashta hun rone se nit ke main kharab
mauj-e-dariya todte hain jis tarah pil pil ke pul

chille ki manind khinchun jab talak bar mein na tang
kab mite hai us but-e-harjai-e-chanchal ki chul

daur mein us zulf ke hai bas ki diwanon ki dhum
sunta hun chaaron taraf se main sada-e-ghul ke ghul

'hasrat' us ke dam mein phansna muqaddar tha mera
the meri nazron mein to pech-o-kham us kakul ke kul
