wo nazuk sa tabassum rah gaya wahm-e-hasin ban kar
numayan ho gaya zauq-e-sitam chin-e-jabin ban kar

bahut itra rahi hai raat zulf-e-ambarin ban kar
bahut maghrur hai nur-e-sahar rang-e-jabin ban kar

meri jama-dari ne raaz ye khola zamane par
khirad dhoke diya karti hai jaib o aastin ban kar

karam mein bhi magar ek ghamza-e-khun-rez shamil tha
nigahon ki taraf utthi to dil ki nukta-chin ban kar

meri diwangi thi ek sharar-e-arzu dil mein
badhi to dar par raushan hui sham-e-yaqin ban kar

payam aate rahe aksar kisi mahw-e-taghaful ke
ada-e-bar-mala ban kar nigah-e-sharmagin ban kar

wo ek sajda na ho paya jo barbaad-e-haram 'taban'
jabin-e-shauq par raushan hai pindar-e-jabin ban kar
