zer hone na diya himmat-e-ali ne mujhe
sar-kashida hi rakha sarw-khayali ne mujhe

itne chehre to na the arzang-e-mani ko nasib
jitne chehre diye aaina-khayali ne mujhe

main ne mansub kiya khun-e-jigar se warna
sher bakhshe tere rukhsar ki lali ne mujhe

dil ne razzaq-e-do-alam ko pukara kya kya
rah mein roka jo kisi dast-e-sawali ne mujhe

ye qalam-ru-e-sukhan hai to chalo yun hi sahi
mulk tafwiz kiya jo mere wali ne mujhe
