Hisar-e-did Mein Jaga Tilism-e-binai

hisar-e-did mein jaga tilism-e-binai

zara jo lau teri sham-e-badan ki tharrai

na jaane kis se bichhaDne ke rag-rang hain sab

ye zindagi hai ki furqat ki bazm-arai

sukut-e-bahr mein kis gham ka raaz pinhan tha

bas ek mauj uThi aur aankh bhar aai

ye samt samt taKHatub ufuq ufuq taqrir

tera kalam hai mera rafiq-e-tanhai

KHirad ki rah jo chala main to dil ne mujh se kaha

aziz-e-man ba-salamat-rawi o baz-ai

uThae sur sarafil dekhta hi raha

bashar ke hath nizam-e-qayamat-arai

kiya tha ji ka ziyan hum ne ek ghazal bhar ko

hazar sher kahe ho saki na bharpai
