ye mana chashm-e-nam se qafile ashkon ke tar nikle
maza tab hai ki ashkon ki jagah khun-e-jigar nikle

banaya tha jinhen hamraaz hum ne dil ki dhadkan ka
wo farzane khud apni aagahi se be-khabar nikle

faqih-e-shahr ko samjha tha hum ne bhole-bhaale hain
magar qad se kahin do-chaar gaz wo beshtar nikle

raqibon ke nishane se fasil-e-ishq kya girti
hasinon ke magar kuchh war aakhir kargar nikle

duboya na-khudaon ne safina mil ke ummat ka
qadam do-chaar aage rahzanon se rahbar nikle

ishaara teri nazron ka bhi tha lekin sar-e-mahshar
sabhi ilzam ai rashk-e-qamar mere hi sar nikle

chalo hum hi nikal jaenge misl-e-khar gulshan se
kisi surat teri hasrat bhi ai bedad-gar nikle

hamare ishq ko ab aazma le jis ka ji chahe
kafan-bardosh maqtal mein tere shorida-sar nikle

usi ke husn-e-be-parwa ko deta hun duaen 'shaikh'
ki jis ke faiz se meri ghazal ke baal-o-par nikle
