Poet
khunuk-joshi na karte juun saba gar ye butan ham se
to misl-e-ghuncha-e-gul dil na jaata raegan ham se
phire us zulf-o-ru ke ishq men donon-jahan ham se
udhar kuffar phir gae sab idhar imaniyan ham se
adu the maali aur sayyad gulchin ne qayamat ki
khuda laanat kare tinon pe chhuta gulistan ham se
ujada girya-e-shor-e-junun ke vaste ham ko
vale gulshan ko aur ab-o-namak tha baghban ham se
hamen to rasti jon tiir hargiz raas aai niin
hamesha tedhe hi rahte hain ye abru-kaman ham se
aqab yaron ke sar par khaak karte ham bhi jaate hain
raha jaata nahin jon gard-e-rah-e-karvan ham se
hamen tiflan to pattharon ki mohabbat se na bhulenge
chale sahra ko ham phir gae bala se shahriyan ham se
hamin tuk zabh kar le saya-e-gulbun men jiita rah
chhudaya tu ne gar sayyad gul ka astan ham se
maze men dard-e-sar ke kab se mohtaj-e-dava ‘uzlat’
abas ai sandali-rango hue ho sargiran ham se
