majnūñ kā jo ai lailā juutā na phaTā hotā
pīchhe tire naaqe ke kyuuñ barahna-pā hotā
be-fā.eda ġhul machtā kyā jāniye kyā hotā
gar un kī galī hotī aur merā galā hotā
hotā agar aadam kā duniyā meñ koī bhaa.ī
nasl-e-banī-ādam kā vallāh chachā hotā
gar qais kī vahshat kā kuchh uuñT asar letā
lailā ko girā detā aur bhaag khaḌā hotā
muflis se ziyāda-tar mun.im hī gursana haiñ
kyuuñ roz havā khāte gar peT bharā hotā
vo ban ke masīhā bhī achchhā jo na kar sakte
bīmār tire haq meñ ye aur burā hotā
mādūm dahan hotā mafqūd kamar hotī
ma.ashūq 'zarīf' aisā hotā bhī to kyā hotā
majnun ka jo ai laila juta na phaTa hota
pichhe tere naqe ke kyun barahna-pa hota
be-faeda ghul machta kya jaaniye kya hota
gar un ki gali hoti aur mera gala hota
hota agar aadam ka duniya mein koi bhai
nasl-e-bani-adam ka wallah chacha hota
gar qais ki wahshat ka kuchh unT asar leta
laila ko gira deta aur bhag khaDa hota
muflis se ziyaada-tar munim hi gursana hain
kyun roz hawa khate gar peT bhara hota
wo ban ke masiha bhi achchha jo na kar sakte
bimar tere haq mein ye aur bura hota
madum dahan hota mafqud kamar hoti
mashuq 'zarif' aisa hota bhi to kya hota
