mera ye zakhm sine ka kahin bharta hai sine se
lagae ai sanam jab tak na tu sine ko sine se

falak ne shadman dekha jise aaya usi ke sar
khuda mahfuz har insan ko rakkhe is kamine se

jo le jate hain dil mera bachana thes se us ko
wo hai ai sang-dil nazuk zyaada aabgine se

na hogi dur ghash meri gulab-o-mushk-o-ambar se
mere rukh ko tu dho ai gul-badan apne pasine se

kahin ye saf hota hai kudurat aur kine se
agar zakhm-e-jigar mil bhi gaya dushman ke sine se

dil ek dahne raha gar dusra daim raha baen
na do baham hue dil go mila sina bhi sine se

koi ranj-o-alam aae na dil ke pas ai saqi
jo ho aaghaz-e-mai-noshi moharram ke mahine se

tu chahe dusron ko aur hum marte phiren tujh par
hamare waste marna hai behtar aise jine se

samajhna chahiye kine se sina hai bhara us ka
kiya hai 'mashriqi' inkar jis ne mai ke pine se
