Mere Mah-Jabin Ne Ba-Sad-Ada Jo Naqab Rukh Se Utha diya

mere mah-jabin ne ba-sad-ada jo naqab rukh se utha diya

jo suna na tha kabhi hosh men vo tamasha mujh ko dikha diya

mila shab jo khvab men vo hasin ye kaha tha niklegi hasraten

ye jafa ye bad-e-sahar ne ki chali yuun ki mujh ko jaga diya

main agarche khaak men mil chuka magar un ke dil men ghubar tha

ki nishan-e-qabr bhi dhundh kar mere sang-e-dil ne mita diya

chhute qaid-e-dair-o-haram se ham hue khvab vo jo khayal the

mujhe saqiya mai-e-be-khudi ka vo jaam tu ne pila diya

tujhe dekh o but-e-khush-ada phiri aankh saari khudai se

vo jo yaad rahti thi suraten unhen saaf dil se bhula diya

main vo murgh-e-khana-kharab huun ki chaman-e-qafs ka hai zikr kya

liya gar hasinon ne mol bhi mujhe sadqa kar ke uda diya

mera garche ‘aughat’ naam hai par karam hai ‘varis’-e-pak ka

zahe-shan dam men ghani kiya ki gada se shaah bana diya
