sawab-e-ishq ki khatir kamal kar baithe
wo mera shahr mein rahna muhaal kar baithe

kuchh aur wo na sitamgar khayal kar baithe
gada-e-husn agar kuchh sawal kar baithe

jo bewafa the unhen bakhsh di mata-e-wafa
ye aashiqan-e-mohabbat kamal kar baithe

suni na ek bhi zalim ne aarzu dil ki
ye kis ke samne hum arz-e-haal kar baithe

abhi to hosh mein aae na the ye diwane
wo phir numaish-e-ru-e-jamal kar baithe

zara si der mein naqsha badal gaya 'hairat'
meri wafaon ko wo paemal kar baithe
