shab na ye sardi se yakh-basta zamin har tarf hai
mah pukare hai falak-parwardagi to barf hai

shah-e-gul ka hukm sayyaron ke ye hai bagh mein
jo na pi kar aae mai naukar nahin bartarf hai

surkh hai rumal-e-shaali us ke tahatul-jang tak
mushaf rukhsar par ya jadwal-e-shangarf hai

nau-khaton ke dil mein juz mashq-e-sitam tarz-e-wafa
yaksar-e-mu ho sake kursi-nashin kya harf hai

dars-e-ilm-e-ishq se waqif nahin mutlaq faqih
nahw hi mein mahw hai ya sarf hi mein sarf hai

mu se hai barik sher-o-shaeri ke darmiyan
mani-e-misra-e-qamat kya qayamat zarf hai

zahid-e-khushk-o-khunuk se kab ho sohbat un ki garm
aatish-e-tar se 'muhib' jin ka labaalab zarf hai
