Khudi ki shokhi o tundi mein kibr o naaz nahi
Jo naaz ho bhi to be lazzat e niyaz nahi”
“Nigaah-e-ishq dil-e-zinda ki talaash mein hai
Shikaar-e-murda sazaawaar-e-shaahbaaz nahi”
“Meri nava mein nahi hai adaaye mahboobi
Ke bang-e-soor-e-Sarafeel dilnawaaz nahi”
“Sawaal-e-mai na karoon saaqi-e-farang se main
Ke yeh tareeqah-e-rindaan paakbaaz nahi”
“Hui na aam jahaan mein kabhi hukoomat-e-ishq
Sabab yeh hai ke mohabbat zamaana saaz nahi”
“Ek iztiraab-e-musalsal ghayaab ho ke huzoor
Main khud kahoon to meri daastan daraaz nahi”
