tum apne husn pe ghazlen padha karo baithe
ki likhne wale to muddat se hosh kho baithe

taras gai hain nigahen ziyaada kya kahiye
sanam sanam rahe behtar khuda na ho baithe

khuda ke fazl se talim wo hui hai aam
khirad to khair junun se bhi hath dho baithe

bura kiya ki talatum mein na-khudai ki
kinara bhi na mila naw bhi dubo baithe

mariz-e-ishq ka jaldi janaza niklega
kuchh aur der pata puchhte raho baithe

tamam shahr mein banti hai dard ki khairaat
hum us ki din ko dil mein nahin samo baithe

tumhaari bazm bahut tang aur dasht wasia
chale to aae ghadi-do-ghadi hi go baithe

bujhi na aatish-e-dil hi kisi tarah 'rahil'
wagarna yar to aankhen bahut bhigo baithe
