unhen kyun phul dushman eid mein pahnae jate hain
wo shakh-e-gul ki surat naz se bal khae jate hain

agar hum se khushi ke din bhi wo ghabrae jate hain
to kya ab eid milne ko farishte aae jate hain

wo hans kar kah rahe hain mujh se sun kar ghair ke shikwe
ye kab kab ke fasane eid mein dohrae jate hain

na chhed itna unhen ai wada-e-shab ki pashemani
ki ab to eid milne par bhi wo sharmae jate hain

'qamar' afshan chuni hai rukh pe us ne is saliqe se
sitare aasman se dekhne ko aae jate hain
