sadiyon lahu se dil ki hikayat likhi gai
meri wafa gai na teri be-rukhi gai

dil de ke us ko chhut gae apne-ap se
is se chhute to hath se duniya chali gai

yaad aai apni khana-kharabi bahut mujhe
diwar jab bhi shahr mein koi chuni gai

us ko bhi chhed-chhad ka andaz aa gaya
dekha mujhe to jaan ke angdai li gai

nakhun ke chand zulf ke baadal labon ke phul
kis ehtimam se tujhe tashkil di gai

lamhe ko zindagi ke liye kam na jaaniye
lamha guzar gaya to samajhiye sadi gai

tum kya piyoge chum ke rakh do labon se jam
'tasnim' ye sharab hai kitnon ko pi gai
