shorish-e-khakistar-e-khun ko hawa dene se kya
lams aankhon ko badan ka zaiqa dene se kya

ho chuki hai gum sada-e-bazgasht-e-ghaib bhi
pattharon ko ab koi naqsh-e-nawa dene se kya

dhund ki gahri tahon mein sare paikar dafn hain
apni bichhdi saaton ko ab sada dene se kya

ek nihaal-e-khasta ki surat khada hun rah mein
mujh ko aane wali rut ka aasra dene se kya

kaun samjhega mujhe taswir adhuri chhod dun
rang koi daera-dar-daera dene se kya

ek din kha jaegi mausam ki sangini unhen
khushbuon ko khwahish-e-sail-e-saba dene se kya

ban gai hai baiat-e-baatil asas-e-waqat 'ramz'
arsa-e-imkan ko zehn-e-karbala dene se kya
