mili nigahen utha talatum ajib dil par asar hua hai
jo haal mera idhar hua hai wo haal un ka udhar hua hai

meri alalat pe daude aae mili nigahen to jal ke bole
dara diya tha qasam khuda ki suna tha dard-e-jigar hua hai

chaman mein barpa hai shor-e-matam gulon ke chehre utar gae hain
ye baghbanon ke hi karam se nizam zer-o-zabar hua hai

hasad ki aatish bhadak rahi hai hua hai bhai ka bhai dushman
makanon se uth rahe hain shoale ki nazr-e-atish nagar hua hai

jo mujh se nafrat hai un ko itni utha len khanjar na uf karunga
unhon ne hi dil kiya hai ghayal unhin se zakhmi jigar hua hai

main tishnagi ka karun jo shikwa tarash meri zaban saqi
magar bata de khata hai kis ki jo mai-kada muntashar hua hai

chalo musammam ye ahd kar len mita den hum dushmani jahan se
sikhaen baatil ko hum saadat jo haq se bhi be-khabar hua hai

yahi to mearaj-e-ashiqi hai yahi to wajh-e-sukun hoga
bas ek dafa wo kah de 'monis' teri wafa ka asar hua hai
