nala-e-ijz naqs-e-ulfat hai
anj-o-mehnat kamal rahat hai

ishq hi girya-e-nadamat hai
warna aashiq ko chashm-e-khiffat hai

ta dam-e-marg gham khushi ka nahin
dil-e-azurda gar salamat hai

dil mein nasur phir jidhar chahe
har taraf kucha-e-jarrahat hai

rona aata hai dam-ba-dam shayad
kaso hasrat ki dil se rukhsat hai

fitne rahte hain us ke sae mein
qad-o-qamat tera qayamat hai

na tujhe rahm ne use tuk sabr
dil pe mere ajab musibat hai

tu to nadan hai nipat naseh
kab moassir teri nasihat hai

dil pe jab mere aa ke ye thahra
ki mujhe khush-dili aziyyat hai

ranj-o-mehnat se baz kyunke rahun
waqt jata rahe to hasrat hai

kya hai phir koi dam ko kya jaano
dam ghanimat miyan jo fursat hai

tera shikwa mujhe na mera tujhe
chahiye yun jo fil-haqiqat hai

tujh ko masjid hai mujh ko mai-khana
waiza apni apni qismat hai

aise hansmukh ko shama se tashbih
shama-e-majlis ki roni surat hai

baatil-us-sehr dekh baatil the
teri aankhon ka sehr aafat hai

abr-e-tar ke huzur phut baha
dida-e-tar ko mere rahmat hai

gah nalan tapan gahe be-dam
dil ki mere ajab hi haalat hai

kya hua gar ghazal qasida hui
aaqibat qissa-e-mohabbat hai

turbat-e-'mir' par hain ahl-e-sukhan
har taraf harf hai hikayat hai

tu bhi taqrib-e-fatiha se chal
ba-khuda wajibuzziyarat hai
