na sani jab mazaq-e-husn ko apna nazar aaya
nigah-e-shauq tak le kar payam-e-fitna-gar aaya

kaha la-raib badh kar ilm-o-danish ne aqidat se
jo bazm-e-ahl-e-fan mein aaj mujh sa be-hunar aaya

sar-e-mahfil churana mujh se daman is ka zamin hai
nahin aaya agar mujh tak ba-andaz-e-digar aaya

bahut ai dil teri rudad-e-gham ne tul khincha hai
kabhi wo but bhi sunne ko ye qissa mukhtasar aaya

hamari ek khata ne khuld se duniya mein la phenka
agar dar-pesh duniya se bhi phir koi safar aaya

main khud hi bewafa hun be-adab hun apna qatil hun
har ek ilzam mere sar ba-alfaz-e-digar aaya

mukaddar kuchh faza 'gulzar' dilli mein sahi lekin
kahin ahl-e-zaban hum sa bhi urdu mein nazar aaya
