aur sab bhuul ga.e harf-e-sadaqat likhna
rah gaya kaam hamara hi baghavat likhna
laakh kahte rahen zulmat ko na zulmat likhna
ham ne sikha nahin pyare ba-ijazat likhna
na sile ki na sata.ish ki tamanna ham ko
haq men logon ke hamari to hai aadat likhna
ham ne jo bhuul ke bhi shah ka qasida na likha
shayad aaya isi ḳhubi ki badaulat likhna
is se baḌh kar miri tahsin bhala kya hogi
paḌh ke na-ḳhush hain mira sahab-e-sarvat likhna
dahr ke gham se hua rabt to ham bhuul ga.e
sarv qamat ko javani ko qayamat likhna
kuchh bhi kahte hain kahin shah ke musahib ‘jalib’
rang rakhna yahi apna isi surat likhna
