vo nigah dil pe padi daagh jigar ke hote
dikhai talvar sada afsos sipar ke hote
kaaba-o-dair ko apna to yahin se hai salam
dar-ba-dar kaun phire yaar ke dar ke hote
teri ankhon ke tasavvur men hai sair-e-kaunain
varna ham log idhar ke na idhar ke hote
ham ko ‘maruf’ agar sher savari deta
to bhi pa-bos-e-sag-e-yar utar ke hote
