mausam-e-gul mein kam-nazar chunte rahe hain khar kya
hath hai kya lahu lahu daman-e-tar-tar kya

kar-e-gah-hayat mein jo hai sanam-tarash hai
aise sanam-kade mein ho shaikh ka eatibar kya

kham ye sar-e-niyaz hai aur bhi mashq-e-naz ho
khunin ho jis ki aastin us ko sitam mein aar kya

dete rahe the hum unhen pas-e-wafa ka wasta
itni si baat thi magar guzri hai nagawar kya

mana ki aastin mein lat-o-hubal chhupe hue
phir bhi saf-e-namaz mein shaikh hai ba-waqar kya

jaane qusur kya hua saqi ne kyon utha diya
baith ke mai-kade mein hum pite the mustaar kya

tair-e-par-burida ho 'manzar' agar qafas-nasib
us ki nazar mein kya khizan us ke liye bahaar kya
