sharminda kiya jauhar-e-baaligh-nazri ne
is jins ko bazar mein puchha na kisi ne

sad shukr kisi ka nahin mohtaj-e-karam mein
ehsan kiya hai teri bedad-gari ne

mohtaj thi aaine ki taswir si surat
taswir banaya mujhe mahfil mein kisi ne

gul hanste hain ghunche bhi hain labrez-e-tabassum
kya un se kaha ja ke nasim-e-sahari ne

mayus na kar de kahin un ki nigah-e-garm
ummid dilai hai mujhe sada-dili ne

mehnat hi pe mauquf hai aasaish-e-geti
khoi meri rahat meri rahat-talabi ne

'wahshat' main nigahon ke tajassus se hun aazad
ehsan kiya mujh pe meri be-hunari ne
