dil ke aiwan mein liye gul-shuda shamon ki qatar

nur-e-KHurshid se sahme hue uktae hue

husn-e-mahbub ke sayyal tasawwur ki tarah

apni tariki ko bhenche hue lipTae hue

ghayat-e-sud-o-ziyan surat-e-aghaz-o-maal

wahi be-sud-e-tajassus wahi bekar sawal

muzmahil saat-e-imroz ki be-rangi se

yaad-e-mazi se ghamin dahshat-e-farda se niDhaal

tishna afkar jo taskin nahin pate hain

soKHta ashk jo aankhon mein nahin aate hain

ek kaDa dard ki jo git mein Dhalta hi nahin

dil ke tarik shagafon se nikalta hi nahin

aur uljhi hui mauhum si darban ki talash

dasht o zindan ki hawas chaak-e-gireban ki talash
