qasida zulfon ka jis jagah par chhida hua hai
wahan pe khushbu ka shamiyana laga hua hai

daricha-e-shab se jhankta hai ye chand kis ko
ye kaun baam-e-jamal par runuma hua hai

na jaane us ka charagh hai kyon bujha bujha sa
na jaane us ke shikoh-e-nakhwat ko kya hua hai

koi talluq koi to rishta zarur hoga
ye aasman jo zamin ki jaanib jhuka hua hai

bata rahi hai khiram-e-baad-e-saba ki masti
gulab shakh-e-ada pe koi khila hua hai

use murawwat ke khal-o-khad kya dikhai denge
ghubar-e-nafrat se shisha-e-dil ata hua hai

agarche sab khidkiyan hain barson se band lekin
makan mera makan se us ke mila hua hai

khayal jin ka na ho ke guzra kisi ke dil se
hamara un saaton se bhi samna hua hai

bahaaren aa aa ke 'nur' honton ko chumti hain
miyan-e-sahra ye kaun naghma-sara hua hai
