Khatir Ghaznavi ‘s famous poem

go zarā sī baat par barsoñ ke yaarāne gaye

lekin itnā to huā kuchh log pahchāne gaye

garmi-e-mahfil faqat ik nāra-e-mastāna hai

aur vo ḳhush haiñ ki is mahfil se dīvāne gaye

maiñ ise shohrat kahūñ yā apnī rusvā.ī kahūñ

mujh se pahle us galī meñ mere afsāne gaye

vahshateñ kuchh is tarah apnā muqaddar ban ga.iiñ

ham jahāñ pahuñche hamāre saath vīrāne gaye

yuuñ to vo merī rag-e-jāñ se bhī the nazdīk-tar

āñsuoñ kī dhund meñ lekin na pahchāne gaye

ab bhī un yādoñ kī ḳhushbū zehn meñ mahfūz hai

bār-hā ham jin se gulzāroñ ko mahkāne gaye

kyā qayāmat hai ki ‘ḳhātir’ kushta-e-shab the bhī ham

sub.h bhī aayī to mujrim ham hī gardāne gaye
