kis ko dikhlaenge wo naz-o-ada mere baad
hogi kis par ye bhala mashq-e-jafa mere baad

dekhiye aap bhi afsurda rahenge aksar
yar aa jaegi jab meri wafa mere baad

zinat-e-husn badhi khun-e-jigar se mere
phika pad jaega ye rang-e-hina mere baad

barha arsh-e-barin nala-e-shab se kanpa
arsh tak jaegi kab aah-e-rasa mere baad

main chala jaunga mahfil se na hon aap khafa
kis pe phir honge magar aap khafa mere baad

nau-giraftar-e-bala hoga na mujh sa koi
kaun chahega tujhe zulf-e-dota mere baad

uth gaya aalam-e-fani se ye kah kar 'aslam'
dekhiye kis ki ab aati hai qaza mere baad
