ladate hi nazar saqi se chakraata hai sar apna
ye wo mai hai ki pite hi dikhati hai asar apna

karen wo mahfil-e-aghyar se kyon rukh idhar apna
fughan hai be-asar nala hai mayus-e-asar apna

dikhate hain jise wo jalwa-e-barq-e-nazar apna
wo rah jata hai hathon se kaleja tham kar apna

bhare gul-ha-e-nazzara se daman-e-nazar apna
muqaddar jag uthe jalwa dikhaen wo agar apna

kare tegh-e-nigah-e-naz loha tez-tar apna
lahu mein dubne ko dil bhi hai sina sipar apna

kathin rah-e-adam hai aur apni sham-e-ghurbat hai
na koi ham-safar apna na koi rahbar apna

hujum-e-arzu mein ye kahin gum ho gaya hoga
mere dil mein khud aa kar dhundh lo tir-e-nazar apna

dikha do ru-e-raushan ki jhalak sadqa jawani ka
tumhaare samne phaila hai daman-e-nazar apna

dam-e-akhir hai wo bahr-e-‘ayaadat aane wale hain
na tute aur dam-bhar rishta-e-tar-e-nazar apna

rasai dekhiye kab ta-dar-e-maqsud hoti hai
nahin juz zauq-e-sadiq aur koi rahbar apna

ye na-mumkin ki lae tab tere ru-e-raushan ki
agar munh chashma-e-khurshid mein dhoe sahar apna

azal se shahid-e-husn-e-butan ka main pujari hun
nazar aata hai but-khana to jhuk jata hai sar apna
