rukh-e-raushan pe safa lot gai
zulf par kali bala lot gai

sun ke gulshan mein mere nala-o-ah
bulbul-e-naghma-sara lot gai

us but-e-mast pe mai-khane mein
dukhtar-e-raz ba-khuda lot gai

hum na marte us ada par lekin
panw par aa ke qaza lot gai

tang hun apni tabiat se main
jo hasin is ko mila lot gai

ai 'sakhi' khub ghazal tu ne kahi
sun ke tab-e-shoara lot gai
