asar aisa hai tap-e-gham mein dawa ka ulta
nabz dekhe to ho bimar masiha ulta

ham-sari ki qad-e-mauzun o rukh-e-raushan se
chor ki tarah diya shama ko latka ulta

subh ko chehra-e-khurshid kiran se nikla
sar se us mah ne jo maqis ka sehra ulta

khafaqan-e-gham-e-furqat se dil aisa ulta
munh ke bahar nikal aaya jo kaleja ulta

hasrat-e-did mein aakhir ko dam apna ulta
parda-e-chashm na us shokh ne apna ulta

naz o andaz ne diwana banaya dil ko
us pari ne jo dam-e-raqs dupatta ulta

main to karta nahin ai 'arsh' gila furqat ka
shikwa-e-bakht wo kaj-baz hai karta ulta
