pas-e-tauba hadis-e-mutrib-o-paimana kahte hain
ye ik bhula hua par aaj ham afsana kahte hain
koi khun-e-tamanna ho jhalak aata hai aankhon men
isi ko ittihad-e-bada-o-paimana kahte hain
tabahi dil ki dekhi hai jo ham ne apni aankhon se
ho ab kaisi hi basti ham use virana kahte hain
fana hone men soz-e-shama ki minnat-kashi kaisi
jale jo aag men apni use parvana kahte hain
jafa par sabr sikha hai vafa par jaan jaati hai
yahi hai aur kis ko tohmat-e-mardana kahte hain
tumhari zulf-e-pechan men raha kyun-kar dil-e-vahshi
tuda le jaae jo zanjir use divana kahte hain
maaz-allah tera husn teri bazm-e-ishrat men
ye vo mahfil hai jis men shama ko parvana kahte hain
yahan to jaan tak de di ‘nazar’ padash-e-ulfat men
magar bedad-gar baaqi abhi jurmana kahte hain
