tiri gali men jo dhuni ramae baithe hain
ajal-rsida hain marne ko aae baithe hain
karo hamari bhi khatir nikal ke parde se
ki mehman hain tumhare bulae baithe hain
hamari baghlon men bu-e-murad aati hai
tumhare pahlu men ham jab se aae baithe hain
diya jo itr unhin ashiqon ko mitti ka
kaha ki ham na malenge nahae baithe hain
utha ke bazm se khalvat men tum ko le jaate
ye sochte hain ki apne parae baithe hain
vo shab ko bazm men hans hans ke puchhte the hamen
ye kaun hain ki jo aansu bahae baithe hain
azal se hai ye do-alam men raushni jis ki
usi charagh se ham lau lagae baithe hain
bahar o nikhat-e-gul hoti hain nisar un par
chaman men rang vo apna jamae baithe hain
yahan bhi chain se sone na paenge afsos
mazar men bhi nakirain aae baithe hain
uthaoge hamen ab kya tum apni mahfil se
ham arzu-o-havas ke bithae baithe hain
bahar men nai sujhi hai un ko gustakhi
urus-e-bagh ka ghungat uthae baithe hain
farefta tiri is tirchhi tirchhi chitvan ke
chhuri kalejon men apne lagae baithe hain
hamare dafn-o-kafan ki bas ab karo tadbir
khabar bhi hai tumhen ham zahr khaae baithe hain
ye kuchh na samjhenge saudaiyon pe rahm karo
havas-o-hosh junun men udaae baithe hain
farishte dekhiye karte hain ham se kya pursish
mare pade the lahad men jilae baithe hain
faqir kyuun ye hue hain ‘sharaf’ se puchho to
bhabhut mal ke jo dhuni ramae baithe hain
