koft se jaan lab pe Aa’ee hai
ham ne kya choT dil pe kHa’ee hai

likHte ruq’a likH gaye dafter
shauq ne baat kya baRHa’ee hai

deednee hai shikastagi dil kee
kya 'maarat ghamooN ne DHaa’ee hai

hai taxan’a ke laal haiN woh lab
ya’nee ik baat see baRHa’i hai

dil se nazdeek aur itna door
kis se osko kuchH Aashna’ee hai

yaaN ho’ee khaak se brabar ham
wahaN wohee naaz-e-khud numa’ee hai

marg-e-majnooN peh 'qal gum hai Meer
kya diwaane ne maut pa’ee hai
