nala rukta hai to sar-garm-e-jafa hota hai

bahut se muddai nikle magar jaan-baz kam nikle

atwar tere ahl-e-zamin se nahin milte

dilli chhuTTi thi pahle ab lucknow bhi chhoDen

ham-nashin dekhi nahusat dastan-e-hijr ki

but-parasti mein na hoga koi mujh sa badnam

baad tauba ke bhi hai dil mein ye hasrat baqi

hans ke kahta hai musawwir se wo ghaarat-gar-e-hosh
