mujhe aaj phir tum se mil kar badi na-umidi hui hai
wahi tarz-e-guftar chehre pe gahri udasi ka aalam

zamane ki bedad haalat ki kaj-adai ka shikwa
tag-o-tar taqdir ki na-rasai ka matam

tahi-damani par pasheman hone ki masum koshish
jawan khubsurat mahakte hue roz-o-shab ka tasawwur

nashat-afrin mahfilon mein kabhi baryabi ka darman
gulabon ki manind khilte hue jism chhune ki khwahish

mujhe kab se hasrat hai ek shab kabhi tum
meri mahfil-e-naz mein yun bhi aate

mujhe jism-o-jaan ki sabhi rahaten saunp dene mein koi
takalluf na hota
