phira kisi ka ilahi kisi se yaar na ho
koi jahan men bargashta-e-rozgar na ho
ham us ki chashm-e-siyah-mast ke hain mastane
ye vo nashe hain ki jis ka kabhi utaar na ho
jahan men koi kahta nahin khuda-lagti
vo kya kare jise dil par bhi ikhtiyar na ho
na phade daman-e-sahra ko kyuun ki dast-e-junun
raha jab apne gareban men ek taar na ho
na khel jaan par apni tu ai dil-e-nadan
khuda ko yaad kar itna tu be-qarar na ho
na bhuul zohd pe lazzat se bakhshish-e-haq ki
vo be-nasib hai jab tak gunahgar na ho
tumhare sar ki qasam kha ke dard dil ka kahun
jo mere likhne ka yuun tum ko e’tibar na ho
janab-e-shaikh ji sahib main ek arz karun
agar mizaj-e-muqaddas pe nagavar na ho
janab rindon se milte to hain pe dar hai mujhe
ki dushmanon ka kisi din vahan achar na ho
bahut hai khema-e-gardun ke phunkne ko to ‘aish’
is ah-e-tufta jigar men asar hazar na ho
