maal-e-shab ba-unwan-e-sahar kahna hi paDta hai

dam-e-barq-o-baad hota nafas-e-sharar hota

wo mere gham mein bhi KHandan nahin hone pata

na nishat-e-chaara-sazi na malal-e-kam-nigahi

mere dil ki dhaDak uske tabassum par garan kyun ho

pusht-o-shikam-o-chashm-o-lab-o-gosh-o-dahan

jahil bhi hain suqraat-e-sanad-zad bhi hain

insan hai KHud itna kasir-ul-atraf

ye daur hai yun apni basirat ka qatil
