qasid-e-khush-fal laya us ke aane ki khabar
dil to khush karta hai bare ye bahane ki khabar

wo but-e-be-raham hum se yun judai kar gaya
hae kis kafir ko thi is bad zamane ki khabar

bulbulo do din ghanimat hai ye fursat aish ki
bagh se hai aaj kal hi gul ke jaane ki khabar

ta-abad khali rahe ya-rab dilon mein us ki ja
jo koi lawe mere ghar us ke aane ki khabar

mere dil ko nisbat-e-farhad-o-majnun aar hai
dur ho mujh ko nahin hai is diwane ki khabar

kaun kis ki ishq ke zindan mein gham-khwari kare
khun-e-dil leta hai mere pine khane ki khabar

aa gaya nadan tu us ke fareb-e-lutf mein
mujh ko 'hasrat' sab thi us ke dil lubhane ki khabar
