agar vo gul-badan dariya nahane be-hijab aave
taajjub nahin ki sab paani sati bu-e-gulab aave
jidhan dekhun baharan men nashat-e-bulbul-o-qumri
mujhe us vaqt be-shak yaad ayyam-e-shabab aave
mira afsana o afsun tire kan sabz kyunke ho
siyah mizhgan tumhari dekh ke sabze kuun khvab aave
miri ankhiyan phadakti hain yaqin hai dil manin yaran
ki naame kuun piyare ke kabutar le shitab aave
siyah-mastan ke aage siin nikalna hai nipat mushkil
agar hoshyar tujh ankhiyan ke taiin dekhe kharab aave
darang ik dam nahin lazim judai siin phadakta hai
kaho ja kar khush-abru kuun ki ‘yakru’ kan shitab aave
