lab par na shikwa-e-gham-e-ayyam aaega
jab aaega zaban pe tera nam aaega

jin ka khayal unhen sahar-o-sham aaega
main jaanta hun un mein mera nam aaega

us zulf-e-mushkbu ka jinhen mas nasib hai
dil ko unhin fazaon mein aaram aaega

baadal bhi qurmuzi hain sharaben bhi qurmuzi
ab bhi agar na pi to phir ilzam aaega

khurshid ko tulua mein kyon der ho gai
kya aakhir-e-shab aur bhi ek jam aaega

mujh ko yaqin hai gardish-e-saghar ke bawajud
aksar khayal-e-gardish-e-ayyam aaega

'fitrat' ko hai siyasat-e-pir-e-mughan se kaam
sarshaar ho chukunga to phir jam aayega
