karb ke sahra se guzra jab bhi diwana koi
muskuraya shakh-e-nazuk par chaman-khana koi

mausam-e-barsat hai aur wajd mein hain lala-zar
dushmanon ke war se chhalka hai paimana koi

raat bhar roti rahi be-sud sham-e-arzu
jab sar-e-mahfil chala aaya hai parwana koi

ajnabi basti ke logon se zara nazren mila
mil hi jaega yahan bhi jaana-pahchana koi

ai dil-e-'mani' yunhi manzil kabhi milti nahin
rah-e-ulfat mein diya karte hain nazrana koi
