jigar ke khun se raushan go ye charagh raha
misal-e-mah chamakta to dil ka dagh raha

badal gaya hai zamana chali wo baad-e-sumum
na gul rahe na wo bulbul rahi na bagh raha

huzur-e-husn se khushiyan na mil sakin na sahi
mata-e-gham se to sad shukr ba-faragh raha

wo dal di ghalat andaz ek nazar tu ne
ki main zamin pe raha arsh par dimagh raha

na hogi bazm-e-jahan mein rasai-e-zulmat
yahan charagh se jalta agar charagh raha

kise tha hosh kisi ki talash ka 'rizwi'
tamam umr hi main darpai-e-suragh raha
