sukun mil gaya hai qarar aa gaya hai
kisi par hamein e'tibar aa gaya hai

qafas mein bhi kaisi bahaar aa gai hai
qafas mein jo zikr-e-bahaar aa gaya hai

un aankhon ko dekha hai makhmur jab se
in aankhon mein bhi kuchh khumar aa gaya hai

mala hai dam-e-subh-e-shabnam ne ghaza
ye kyun ru-e-gul par nikhaar aa gaya hai

'munawar' ko dekha to kuchh log samjhe
sar-e-bazm ek baada-khwar aa gaya hai
