is vusat-e-kalam se ji tang aa gaya
naseh tu meri jaan na le dil gaya gaya
zid se vo phir raqib ke ghar men chala gaya
ai rashk meri jaan gai tera kya gaya
ye zof hai to dam se bhi kab tak chala gaya
khud-raftagi ke sadme se mujh ko ghash aa gaya
kya puchhta hai talkhi-e-ulfat men pand ko
aisi to lazzaten hain ki tu jaan kha gaya
kuchh aankh band hote hi ankhen si khul gaiin
ji ik bala-e-jan tha achchha hua gaya
ankhen jo dhundti thiin nigah-ha-e-iltifat
gum hona dil ka vo miri nazron se pa gaya
bu-e-saman se shaad the aghyar-e-be-tamiz
us gul ko e’tibar-e-nasim-o-saba gaya
ah-e-sahar hamari falak se phiri na ho
kaisi hava chali ye ki ji sansana gaya
aati nahin bala-e-shab-e-gham nigah men
kis mehr-vash ka jalva nazar men sama gaya
ai jazb-e-dil na tham ki na thahra vo shola-ru
aaya to garm garm va-lekin jala gaya
mujh khanuman-kharab ka likkha ki jaan kar
vo naama ghair ka mire ghar men gira gaya
mehndi malega paanv se dushman to aan kar
kyuun mere tafta siine ko thokar laga gaya
bosa sanam ki aankh ka lete hi jaan di
‘momin’ ko yaad kya hajrul-asvad aa gaya
