khanjar ki tarah bu-e-saman tez bahut hai
mausam ki hava ab ke junun-khez bahut hai
raas aae to hai chhanv bahut barg o shajar ki
haath aae to har shakh samar-rez bahut hai
logo miri gul-kari-e-vahshat ka sila kya
divane ko ik harf-e-dil-avez bahut hai
munim ki tarah pir-e-haram piite hain vo jaam
rindon ko bhi jis jaam se parhez bahut hai
maslub hua koi sar-e-rah-e-tamanna
avaz-e-jaras pichhle pahar tez bahut hai
‘majruh’ sune kaun tiri talkh-navai
guftar-e-azizan shakar-amez bahut hai
