wo nigah dil pe padi dagh jigar ke hote
dikhai talwar sada afsos sipar ke hote

kaba-o-dair ko apna to yahin se hai salam
dar-ba-dar kaun phire yar ke dar ke hote

teri aankhon ke tasawwur mein hai sair-e-kaunain
warna hum log idhar ke na idhar ke hote

hum ko 'maruf' agar sher sawari deta
to bhi pa-bos-e-sag-e-yar utar ke hote
