'zauq' jo madrase ke bigDe hue hain mullaa
un ko mai-khaane mein le aao sanvar jaaeinge

ek aansu ne Duboyaa mujh ko un ki bazm mein
buund bhar paani se saari aabru paani hui

maalum jo hotaa hamein anjaam-e-mohabbat
lete na kabhi bhuul ke ham naam-e-mohabaat

behtar to hai yahi ki na duniyaa se dil lage
par kyaa karein jo kaam na be-dil-lagi chale

naaz hai gul ko nazaakat pe chaman mein ai 'zauq'
us ne dekhe hi nahin naaz-o-nazaakat vaale

khushbu aati hai pahli baarish ki
