tazkira dil ka bar bar na kar
husn ko husn-e-sharmsar na kar

lutf-e-nazzara-e-bahaar utha
sharh ajza-e-barg-o-bar na kar

qad-o-gesu ko dad-e-ishrat de
fikr-e-adab-e-gir-o-dar na kar

badh ke saghar utha jo pina hai
izn-e-saqi ka intizar na kar

shauq ki raushni mein badhta ja
kuchh khayal-e-maal-e-kar na kar

din jo guzren baghair-e-shahid-o-jam
zindagi mein unhen shumar na kar

zer-e-diwar-e-mai-kada 'maikash'
khauf-e-ashob-e-rozgar na kar
