aatish-e-ishq sun jo jalta hai
wo sada misl-e-shama galta hai

tham kyunkar sakun wafur-e-sarishk
bahr-e-dil gham sati ubalta hai

bahr-e-dil mein hai garche gauhar-e-ashk
sadaf-e-chashm sun nikalta hai

roz-e-bad kui rafiq nin kis ka
saya waqt-e-zawal dhalta hai

jab sun raushan hai mujh sukhan ka shama
rashk setin 'siraj' jalta hai

sher 'daud' ka misal-e-khar
hasidon ke jigar mein salta hai
