kis ko washud hui bhar umr hi dil-gir rahe
chaman-e-dahr mein jun ghuncha-e-taswir rahe

lazzaten dil ne uthai hain teri mizhgan se
jab talak dam mein hai dam sine mein ye tir rahe

aankh lag jae shab-e-gham mein koi dam dil ki
tuk bhi khamosh agar nala-e-shabgir rahe

haal sau tarah se likhkhun use ai dida-e-tar
khushk kuchh bhi jo mera kaghaz-e-tahrir rahe

ta-dam-e-naza bala se na chhute hai zalim
umr-bhar zulf se us shokh ki zanjir rahe

dekh surat ko teri har but-e-chin ne ye kaha
samne aankhon ke din-raat ye taswir rahe

hain kahan teri wo chaalakiyan ai dast-e-junun
jeb 'afsos' ka sad-haif gulu-gir rahe
