Poet
na ham mahv-e-khayal abru-e-kham-dar sote hain
sipahi hain zi-bas bandhe hue talvar sote hain
tumhara sote sote chaunk padna khab gaya dil men
ki aksar khud-bakhud ho ho ke ham bedar sote hain
ilahi ham ko hai kis ka khayal-e-khvab-o-be-dari
jo lakhon haar uthte hain hazaron yaar sote hain
nigah-e-mast-e-saqi men hai kya dara-e-be-hoshi
ki saghar lag raha hai munh se aur mai-khvar sote hain
na kar vasvas dil men chal vahan ‘maruf’ be-khatke
ki darban unghta hai aur chaukidar sote hain
