tu mubtala-e-ishq hai gham ka nisab dhund
unwan jis ka hijr ho aisi kitab dhund

auron ki raushni pe na rakh tu buri nazar
apni hi chhat ke niche koi aaftab dhund

koshish ko apni ek naya rang-rup de
dil ke ujad bagh mein taza gulab dhund

ye nek hastiyan hain yahan mera kaam kya
tu mere waste koi ja-e-kharab dhund

ya mujh ko dast-e-yar se pani ka ghunt de
ya jo ragon ko tar kare aisi sharab dhund

wo jis pe chand roz takabbur raha tujhe
'ariz' kahan gaya tera zor-e-shabab dhund
