go sudh nahi.n us shoKH sitamgar ne sambhaali
tis par bhi koi baat ada se nahi.n KHali
kuchh hosh nahi.n mujh mei.n raha jab se pilai
us nargis-e-maKHmur ki saqi ne pyali
shabnam ke araq mei.n hua KHajlat siti gul-e-tar
dekhi jo lab-e-lal ki us shoKH ke lali
we ghair hi hai.n jin ki har ek baat ho sunte
hum ne to jo kuchh arz ki so sunte hi Tali
tausif koi kar sake kya ai 'shah e alam'
rutba hai tere sher ka guftar se aali
