yad-e-baiza rukh-e-yusuf dil-e-mansur hote hain
jo tu dekhe to zarre bhi charagh-e-tur hote hain

gar is nukte ko kuchh samjha to sarw-e-pa-ba-gil samjha
ki bagh-e-dahr mein aazad bhi majbur hote hain

shabab-e-mast ki dhalti hui tarik raaton par
sahar hansti hai ya mu-e-siyah kafur hote hain

ho sadd-e-rah kyon tere liye sang-e-wajud apna
tu bebakana pa-e-naz utha hum dur hote hain

ye mai-khana hai ai shaikh-e-haram laghzida-pa ho ja
ki ek thokar se paida is jagah sau tur hote hain

sar-e-jamshed ko khisht-e-khum-e-sahba se takra den
gada-e-mai-kada bhi kis qadar maghrur hote hain

hiqarat ki nazar se khirqa-poshon ko na dekh ai dil
ki aksar in mein apne ahd ke mansur hote hain

muhayya sang-e-dar ai na-murad-e-zindagi kar le
ki jine ki tarah marne ke bhi dastur hote hain

na ho khun-e-jigar jin mein na aawaz-e-shikast-e-dil
wo aansu hun ki nale 'faiz' na-manzur hote hain
