qatil ko tegh-e-naz pe hai naz dekhna
daman utha ke chalne ka andaz dekhna

rashk-e-raqib ka to guman bhi na kijiye
marta hun is liye ki hai eajaz dekhna

tum aur apne wade pe aa jao sham se
kya baat ban padi hai khuda-saz dekhna

hai khun-e-dil abhi sar-e-mizhgan jama hua
un ki taraf na dida-e-ghammaz dekhna

fasl-e-bahaar aate hi mutrib bani saba
chheda shamim-e-gul ne naya saz dekhna

aaina samne na sahi aarsi to hai
tum apne muskurane ka andaz dekhna

bazu hain wa qafas mein tadapta hun raat-din
kis se kahun ki hasrat-e-parwaz dekhna

yun dekhne ke waste lakhon hasin hain
kis ko hua nasib ye andaz dekhna

ghussa mein aankh bhi nahin milti kisi se aaj
kis par gire nigah ka shahbaz dekhna

har lab pe gudgudi ka asar dekhta hun main
mahfil mein un ki shokhi-e-awaz dekhna

qail bani nazakat-e-awaz dekhna
likhe hain sher hazrat-e-'bekhud' ke rang mein

ai ahl-e-bazm 'shad' ka eajaz dekhna
