“Mile ga manzil-e-maqsood ka usi ko suraagh,
Andheri shab mein hai cheetay ki aankh jiska chiraagh.”
Mayassar aati hai fursat faqat ghulamon ko,
Nahi hai banda-e-hur ke liye jahaan mein faraagh.”
Farogh-e-Maghribiyan kheera kar raha hai tujhe,
Teri nazar ka nigehbaan ho saahib-e-‘mazaagh’.”
“Woh bazm-e-aish hai mehmaan yak nafas do nafas,
Chamak rahe hain misaal-e-sitaara jiske ayaagh.”
