ye kis ne jalwa dikha ke aankhon mein kar liya hai maqam apna
ye kis ko apna bana ke barham kiya hai dil ne nizam apna

ye kis ki baaton mein aa ke hum ne kiya hai badnam nam apna
ki aaj tak aagahi se aajiz hai jazba-e-na-tamam apna

agar tamanna-e-be-khudi ki zaban se sun len payam apna
to aariz-e-husn se ulat den naqab wo la-kalam apna

nigah-e-saqi se kah raha hun saza tawajjoh ki sah raha hun
sharab-e-rahmat ke daur mein bhi karam se khali hai jam apna

jahan mein hain khush-nasib aksar hai jin pe lutf-e-nazar sarasar
agar muqabil hun kya ajab hai mujhe bhi kar len ghulam apna

nishana-e-husn ho raha hai firaq mein umr kho raha hai
nazar se fursat mile to dil bhi kare koi intizam apna

hai manzar-e-bazm 'shad' o rahat ba-qalb-e-masrur ain neamat
mazaq-e-sher-o-sukhan hai ahl-e-adab mein hai ehtiram apna
