bacha gar naaz se to us ko phir andaz se maara
koi andaz se maara to koi naaz se maara
kisi ko garmi-e-taqrir se apni laga rakkha
kisi ko munh chhupa kar narmi-e-avaz se maara
hamara murgh-e-dil chhoda na akhir us shikari ne
gahe shahin phenke us pe gaahe baaz se maara
ghazal padhte hi meri ye mughanni ki hui halat
ki us ne saaz maara sar se aur sar saaz se maara
nikali rasm-e-tegh-o-tasht dili men jazak-allah
ki maara to hamen tu ne par ik eazaz se maara
na udta murgh-e-dil to changul-e-shahin men kyuun phansta
gaya ye khasta apni khubi-e-parvaz se maara
jahan tak saz-dari hai likhi dushman ke taale men
hamen badnam kar ke tale-e-na-saz se maara
hazaron rang us ke khuun ne yaron ko dikhlae
jab us ne ‘mushafi’ ko apni tegh-e-naz se maara
