le chuko dil jo nigah ko to ye dushwar nahi.n

lek tum dekhte phirte ho kharidar nahi.n

go ki musharif-ba-halakat hu.n mai.n is bar pe shokh

to ayaadat ko gar aawe to kuchh aazar nahi.n

tang to hum ko tu ai jaib kare hai lekin

uTh gaya hath gar apna to phir ek tar nahi.n

go subuk mujh ko zamane ne kiya hai lekin

ye bhi hai shukr kisi dil ka to mai.n bar nahi.n

majlis-e-mai se mushabah hai kharabaat-e-jaha.n

jaan kar ya.n jo na ho mast so hoshyar nahi.n

har bad o nek jaha.n apni jagah hai matlub

kaun sa uzw badan mei.n hai ki darkar nahi.n

mai ki tauba ko to muddat hui 'qayem' lekin

be-talab ab bhi jo mil jae to inkar nahi.n
