main ne jis shakhs ki barson se taraf-dari ki
us ne mere hi liye jang ki tayyari ki

mere bare mein wo tahqiq kiya karta hai
mil gai mujh ko sanad meri wafadari ki

jin se iman ki taswir hai tukde tukde
guftugu wo bhi kiya karte hain khuddari ki

chal diye jaanib-e-manzil ko ba-hamrah-e-junun
hum ne to fikr na ki rah ki dushwari ki

bazm-e-yaran mein jo khamosh raha karta tha
aaj us shakhs ne lafzon ki sharar-bari ki

ishq mein dil ko tasalli nahin milne wali
phir mere sath mere nafs ne makkari ki

uth gaya aaj naqab us ke rukh-e-zeba se
tod di us ne wo zanjir hi dildari ki

jis jahan mein yun adawat ki chhuri chalti ho
kya zarurat wahan 'khurshid' rawadari ki
