waqt ajib aa gaya mansab-o-jah ke liye
sahib-e-dil bhi chal pade takht-o-kulah ke liye

mere ghanim-e-surkh-ru arsa-e-sad-shikast mein
koi nawed-e-sar-khushi meri sipah ke liye

us ka hadaf bhi dekhna meri taraf bhi dekhna
qatl-e-ana ki shart hai is se nibah ke liye

mausam-e-gul ko kya khabar shorish-e-abr-o-baad mein
tair-e-dil udas hai shakh-e-panah ke liye

ek nawa-e-atishin halqa-ba-halqa jism mein
phir hui hai taza-dam taza gunah ke liye

kahta tha koi shama-rukh dekh mere charagh-e-shab
koi kiran bacha ke rakh roz-e-siyah ke liye

ek shab-e-mah ke liye dil hai lahu lahu 'razi'
aankh sitara-kesh hai ek shab-e-mah ke liye
