Jitna Tha Sargarm-e-kar Utna Hi Dil Nakaam Tha

jitna tha sargarm-e-kar utna hi dil nakaam tha

hosh jis ka nam hai wo bhi junun-e-KHam tha

hosh ka zamin tha saqi kaif-parwar dil ka shauq

jam tha pas aur be-andesha-e-anjam tha

KHatm karti jald kyunkar zist ki manzil ko sans

pher koson ka tha lekin fasla ek gam tha

josh-e-shorida-sari tha ta-ba-wahm-e-iKHtiyar

thak ke dam TuTa to phir aaram hi aaram tha

ab kahan wo aamad-o-raft-e-nafas ki shah-rah

ek kashakash thi ki jis ka zindagani nam tha

chaunk kar KHud manzar-e-hasti se aankhen pher lin

hichkiyan kahe ko thin poshida ek paigham tha

gul hua aaKHir bhaDak kar shoala-e-josh-e-shabab

thi kaf-e-mauj-e-hawadis aur charagh-e-sham tha

be-jale kis tarah banta shama parwane ka dil

wo use anjam kya dete jo mera kaam tha

tum ne KHud nakaam rakh ke us ki himmat ki thi past

aarzu-e-be-gunah par muft ka ilzam tha
