rang maila na hua jama-e-uryani ka
sar-o-saman hai hamein be-sar-o-samani ka

aaina dekhe hai wo aur use aaina
zor aalam hai dila aalam-e-hairani ka

dam-e-hasti pe habab apni abas ubhre tha
aankh khulte hi maqam us pe khula fani ka

tishnagi khak bujhe ashk ki tughyani se
ain barsat mein bigde hai maza pani ka

zulf gar khinch sake yar ke tu shane se
hath yak-dast qalam kijiyega 'mani' ka

jhad gai abar-e-bahaari ki bhi shekhi lekin
na ghata zor mere ashk ki tughyani ka

ai junun roz rahe hai mere daman se laga
hun qadam-bos na kyun khar-e-bayabani ka

kyun na angusht-numa howe hilal-abru
zor aalam hai tere qashqa-e-peshani ka

dil na chhut zulf-e-butan chashm ka bandhe hai khayal
yaad mazmun hai pareshan ko pareshani ka

jam-o-mina jo bane aabla o dagh 'nasir'
dil ne saman kiya kis ki ye mehmani ka
