pech fiqre par kiya jata nahin
koi dhaga do bata jata nahin

bosa-e-lab ghair ko dete ho tum
munh mera mitha kiya jata nahin

zoaf ne yak-dast tode pa-e-zist
nabz-e-murda hun hila jata nahin

zulf se sumbul kare kya ham-sari
pech choti ka kiya jata nahin

tegh-e-husn-e-yar se majruh hai
tota-e-khat se uda jata nahin

qabr ka talib abas hai jism-e-zar
chashm-e-dushman mein sama jata nahin

kya kashida surat-e-taswir hun
na-tawani se khincha jata nahin

zoaf se pahunchenge kyun-kar aap tak
aap se bahar hua jata nahin

khinch sake taswir betabi mein kya
ek surat par raha jata nahin

ruh ko bhi bosa-e-lab ki hai chat
mar gae lekin mara jata nahin

murde se bad-tar hun go jita hun main
rang-e-hasti mein mila jata nahin

rang kya qadd-khamida ka khile
chhalle ke gul se khila jata nahin

roz angiya hoti hai aarasta
kab naya bangla saja jata nahin

pech mein aane ko taqat chahiye
tere dam par bhi chadha jata nahin

itr khinchta hai hamari khak ka
hath malne ka maza jata nahin

chutkiyan mere sarape mein na lo
jama-e-hasti chuna jata nahin

koi kya hum ko banega 'munir'
aise bigde hain bana jata nahin
