Har harf-e-arzu pe kare tha wo yar bahas

har harf-e-arzu pe kare tha wo yar bahas
ek ek baat par thi use shab hazar bahas

lae hai khinch aarzu-e-zaKHm dur se
kaho war par na qatil KHanjar-guzar bahas

hairat-zadon ko mahfil-e-taswir ki tarah
ne hai shiar-e-ramz-o-kinaya na kar-e-bahas

ya zikr-e-dost ya hai zaban par hadis-e-ishq
jun ahl-e-madarsa nahin apna shiar bahas

takrar se dil apna jo manga kaha ki chal
milta hai koi ye na abas bar bar bahas

kije agar gila to taraf-dar yar ho
aap hi lagae mujh se dil-e-be-qarar bahas

'mamnun' mujhe nasihat-e-saib ye yaad hai
ta sulh mumkin ast makun zinhaar bahas
