meri mahfil tha meri khalwat-e-jaan tha kya tha
wo ajab shakhs tha ek raaz-e-nihan tha kya tha

baal khole hue phirti thin hasinaen kuchh
wasl tha ya ki judai ka saman tha kya tha

hae us shokh ke khul pae na asrar kabhi
jaane wo shakhs yaqin tha ki guman tha kya tha

tum jise markazi kirdar samajh baithe ho
wo fasane mein agar tha to kahan tha kya tha

kyun 'wasi'-shah pe pari-zadiyan jaan deti hain
mah-e-kanan tha shair tha jawan tha kya tha
