jis kisi ne in dinon koi dawa ijad ki
bas ye samjho us ne ek basti nai aabaad ki

phod kar sar jail mein be-chaara majnun mar gaya
aur sadaen har taraf hain yar zindabaad ki

kya bataun ai tabibo ishq ki tum ko tapish
bas samajh lo jaise garmi tir aur khurdad ki

lijiye aae hain majnun mujh ko dene dars-e-ishq
aap ki surat to dekho hat tere ustad ki

qarz to be-shak liya par hum ne kis kis se liya
yaad kuchh aata nahin ye kaifiyat hai yaad ki

qais aakhir mar gaya soz-e-darun-e-ishq se
kha gai afsos us paude ko garmi khad ki

dekhna aakhir sar-e-bazar ruswa kar diya
roz waiz tum dua manga karo aulad ki

madar-e-giti ne 'ismat' kuchh meri parwa na ki
sas karti hai khushamad kahte hain damad ki
