subh-dam kaise mile mahfil mein parwane ki khak
surma-e-chashm-e-wafa keshan hai diwane ki khak

joshish-e-awargi-e-shauq-e-majnun munfail
shahid-e-sahra-nawardi meri virane ki khak

chupke chupke shama sozan raat bhar roti rahi
rakh ke apne samne mahfil mein parwane ki khak

kya koi phir qais aashufta chala hai su-e-dasht
kis ko uth kar dekhti hai roz virane ki khak

roz lati thi saba mahfil mein bu-e-zulf-e-yar
is dafa aai hai le kar un ke kashane ki khak

dekhna hi chahte hain nasha zahid to phir
mai-gusaron se kaho mal len wo maikhane ki khak

shaikh sahab kya hai fatwa aap ka is bab mein
qabil-e-sajda hai pasha ko sanam-khane ki khak
