lachakti shakh pe jab bhi nai kali aai
udas phulon ko be-sakhta hansi aai

sawal ye nahin ahd-e-wafa kiya us ne
sawal ye hai mohabbat mein kyon kami aai

hasin daur jawani ka jab ganwa baithe
mizaj-e-ishq mein tab ja ke pukhtagi aai

hazar tark-e-talluq kiya hai us ne magar
mere khulus mein ab tak na kuchh kami aai

gham-e-jahan mein hue mubtala to ai 'ambar'
hansi mili na hamein ras phir khushi aai
