Qais Kahta Tha Yahi Fikr Hai Din-raat Mujhe

qais kahta tha yahi fikr hai din-raat mujhe

mar de naqa-e-laila na kahin lat mujhe

ruKH-e-raushan pe fida aur na siyah-zulf ka KHabt

na koi din hai mujhe aur na koi raat mujhe

maktab-e-ishq mein baiTha hua hal karta hun

jaise algebra ke milte hain sawalat mujhe

botalen bechte naKHKHas mein dekha us ko

kis jagah ja ke mila pir-e-KHarabaat mujhe

ghusl-KHane mein ye ghassal se murda bola

jail hai qabr to ye ghar hai hawalat mujhe

rishta-e-umr hai kam aur meri rassi hai daraaz

aai charKHe se ye aawaz na tu kat mujhe

nai tahzib ne mashuq ka fashion badla

card bhejun to mayassar ho mulaqat mujhe

dard-e-dil ishq mein hai kahe se sekun main 'zarif'

na falalin hi milti hai na banat mujhe
