sab se behtar hai ki mujh par mehrban koi na ho

sab se behtar hai ki mujh par mehrban koi na ho

na aae samne mere agar nahin aata

is dar pe mujhe yar machalne nahin dete

hum ko us shoKH ne kal dar talak aane na diya

kyun aaine mein dekha tu ne jamal apna

achchha hua ki dam shab-e-hijran nikal gaya

na-tawani mein palak ko bhi hilaya na gaya

mar jaenge lekin kabhi ulfat na karenge

us pe karna mere nalon ne asar chhoD diya

na parda kholiyo ai ishq gham mein tu mera

tadbir mein yaro nahin taqsir tumhaari

har ghaDi chalti hai talwar tere kuche mein

ki mere taDapne ki na tadbir kisi ne

kya kahen hum the ki ya dida-e-tar baiTh gae

mere dil ko biTha diya kis ne

kya karegi ye teri kakul-e-paiman mera

jahan se dosh-e-azizan pe bar ho ke chale

na gila tujhse na kuchh hai falak-e-pir se ranj

qail bhala hon nama-bari mein saba ke KHak

aah ko jo kahun burai ki

har ghaDi chalti hai talwar tere kuche mein

hain hum bhi KHub chah ka saman kiye hue

unki aur meri kisi roz laDai na gai

dar pe rahe ye dida-e-giryan tamam-umr

sach hai ki aah-e-sard meri be-asar nahin

aashiq hue the jo kahin ruswa nahin hun main

wahshat mein yaad aae hai zanjir dekh kar

shab-e-visal mein bezar hain sharab se hum

ruKH par rahi wo zulf-e-moambar tamam raat

sar jo rahta hai mera rone se aksar bhaari

tum jo kahte ho ki aawenge tere han kal tak

kya KHushi hoti hai jis dam ghar mere wo aae hai

kuchh chup hain aaina jo wo har bar dekh kar

howen bar-aks bhala kyun na wo aghyar se KHush

har-chand ki ab mujhse sitam uTh nahin sakta

jahan se dosh-e-azizan pe bar ho ke chale

asar kiya hai ye ai aah-e-na-rasa kaisa

kya ghazab hai ki mera mujhse wo dilbar toDa

zor par aah thi aur nala-e-shab-gir bhi tha

yan chala aae jo wo sim-badan aap se aap

dayar-e-ishq mein tera guzar howe to main jaanun
