(1871-1806)
Shokhi ne teri lotf na rakha hijab main
Jalwe ne tere aag lagai niqab main
Aa nagma gar ho charkh me la aasmaN ko
Aah raqs kad zamen ko dal iztirab main
Wo qatrah hoN ke mojae darya main gom hoa
Wo saya hoN ke maho hawa aaftab main
Is sorat e jaN nawaz
ka sani bana nahiN
Kya dhondte ho barbat e o wod o robab main
Pochi thi ham ne wajah molaqat modda
Ek umar ho gayi unhaiN fikar jawab main
Ladti na jaye aankh jo saqi se sheftah
Ham ko to khak lotf na aaye sharab main
