bahut bose liye hain main ne un kafir hasinon ke

maza aaega mujh ko bhi agar roz-e-hisab aaya

takalluf bartaraf ai shaiKH sohbat se ye aapas ki

mere aage sharab aai tere aage kabab aaya

isi koshish mein kaTti hijr ki raaten huin aaKHir

na un ke gesuon ka mere dil mein pech-o-tab aaya

KHayal-e-yar ke sadqe KHayal-e-yar hi hoga

tasalli mujh ko dene koi waqt-e-iztirab aaya
