rah gai wo nigah-e-naz qalb o jigar mein baith kar
dil mein latif si khalish aankh hai aansuon se tar

raat ki nind ud gai din ka sukun lut gaya
teri nigah-e-naz ne kar diya dil pe kya asar

sun na sake usi ko wo kah na saka usi ko main
aish ki dastan mein jo haal tha gham ka mukhtasar

shakh se gul jo gir pada dil se laga ke rakh liya
daur-e-khizan bhi dekh lun phul chune hain umr bhar

koi agar nihaal hai koi kharab-haal hai
zarf ke sath sath hai un ki nigah ka asar

rang-e-chaman ko dekh kar 'arif'-e-khasta-dil ye kya
phulon pe hai kabhi nazar kanton pe hai kabhi nazar
