kis husn se kahun main is ki khush-akhtari ki
is mah-ru ke aage kya tab mushtari ki

rakhna na tha qadam yan jon baad be-tammul
sair is jahan ki rahraw par tu ne sarsari ki

shubha bahaal sag mein ek umr sirf ki hai
mat puchh in ne mujh se jo aadmi-giri ki

piye gul us chaman mein chhoda gaya na hum se
sar par hamare ab ke minnat hai be-pari ki

pesha to ek hi tha us ka hamara lekin
majnun ke taleon ne shohrat mein yawari ki

girye se dagh-e-sina taza hue hain sare
ye kisht-e-khushk tu ne ai chashm phir hari ki

ye daur to muafiq hota nahin magar ab
rakhiye baniye taza us charkh-e-chambari ki

khuban tumhaari khubi ta-chand naqal kariye
hum ranja khatiron ki kya khub dilbari ki

hum se jo 'mir' ud kar aflak-e-charkh mein hain
un khak mein malun ki kahe ko hamsari ki
