lazzat-e-ulfat se dil masrur hona chahiye
jo bhi hai shikwa-gila sab dur hona chahiye

dekh kar haal-e-pareshan log sau baaten karen
pyar mein itna nahin majbur hona chahiye

husn ab had se ziyaada naz dikhlane laga
ishq tujh ko bhi zara maghrur hona chahiye

lal-o-gauhar ke ewaz patthar bhi bik jae yahan
bechne wala faqat mashhur hona chahiye

dekhte hi log hum ko banda-e-momin kahen
is qadar chehre pe apne nur hona chahiye

aaj bhi aadhe-adhure hum se 'tashna' log hain
aap ka kuchh to karam bharpur hona chahiye
