kafir banunga kufr ka saman to kijiye
pahle ghaneri zulf pareshan to kijiye

us naz-e-hosh ko ki hai musa pe tana-zan
ek din naqab ulat ke pashiman to kijiye

ushshaq bandagan-e-khuda hain khuda nahin
thoda sa narkh-e-husn ko arzan to kijiye

qudrat ko khud hai husn ke alfaz ka lihaz
ifa bhi ho hi jaega paiman to kijiye

ta-chand rasm-e-jama-dari ki hikayaten
taklif yak-tabassum-e-pinhan to kijiye

yun sar na hogi 'josh' kabhi ishq ki muhim
dil ko khirad se dast-o-gareban to kijiye
