saghar kyun khali hai mera ai saqi tere maikhane mein
phir dal de ulfat ki nazren ek bar mere paimane mein

wo ishq nahin hai bul-hawasi jo wasl ki chahat karta hai
baqi hai farasat ab tak bhi itni to tere diwane mein

duniya ki inayat hai utni har gam bichhati hai kante
hum rang-e-hina kaise bharte is ulfat ke afsane mein

kyun khak mein meri wasf nahin jis se mah-o-anjum sharmaen
har aan ulajhta jata hun is gutthi ko suljhane mein

phir raaz-e-khudi eazaz-khudi parwaz-e-khudi us se puchhen
'iqbaal' sa koi farzana mil jae agar anjaane mein
