phir mile ham un se phir yaari badhi
aur uljha dil giraftari badhi
mehrbani charasazon ki badhi
jab badha darman to bimari badhi
hijr ki ghadiyan kathin hoti gaiin
din ke naale raat ki zaari badhi
phir tasavvur men kisi ke niind udi
phir vahi raton ki bedari badhi
sakhtiyan rah-e-mohabbat ki na puchh
har qadam ik taaza dushvari badhi
khair saaqi ki salamat mai-kada
jis qadar pi utni hushyari badhi
daur-daure hain ‘mubarak’ jaam ke
intiha ki apni mai-khvari badhi
