wo ek nigah jo be-ikhtiyar karti hai
dilon ko dard ka umid-war karti hai

wahi suluk mere dil se tum bhi kyon na karo
chaman ke sath jo fasl-e-bahaar karti hai

nigah-e-shauq ko dun kaun-si saza ya-rab
ye dil ka raaz-e-nihan aashkar karti hai

samajh saka na koi fitrat-e-mohabbat ko
ye us ko phunkti hai jis ko pyar karti hai

mujhe to chain nahin hai kashakash-e-gham se
wo shai hai kya jo tumhein be-qarar karti hai

na aae tum to shikayat mujhe nahin lekin
ye chandni jo mujhe sharmsar karti hai

ghurur-e-ishq bahut ho chuka 'adib' bahut
wo bazm ab bhi tera intizar karti hai
