AshkoN ko chain hii nahiiN aafat kiye baGhair
tum, aur maan jaao sharaarat kiye baGhair
(ashva=coquetry, blandishment, playfulness)

ahl-e-nazar ko yaar dikhaanaa rah-e-vafaa
aye kaash! zikr-e-dozaKh-o-jannat ke baGhair

ab dekh us kaa haal ki aataa na thaa qaraar
khud tere dil ko, jis pe inaayat kiye baGhair

aye hamnashiiN muhaal hai naaseh kaa Taalnaa
yah, aur yahaaN se jaayeN nasiihat kiye baGair

tum kitne tund-khuu ho ki pahluu se aaj tak
ek baar bhii uThe na qayaamat kiye baGhair
