aatish-e-mina nazar aai harifana mujhe
ek taghayyur ki khabar deta hai paimana mujhe

tishna-e-nazuk mizajaan-e-kanisht-o-dair ka
barhaman kahne bhi de ek-adh afsana mujhe

kis qadar hairat-asar nikli hai marg-e-andalib
is sipas-e-jaan se gul lagta hai begana mujhe

ek khayal-e-zulf-e-jaanan ek hawa-e-pech-pech
ek na ek zanjir-e-sar rakhti hai diwana mujhe

bosa-e-jaanan mein thi yun to had-e-shukr-o-sipas
chahiye ek larzish-e-lab bhi raqibana mujhe

us ke paikar ki jhalak rahon pe thi nazdik o dur
kal ghurub-e-mahr tha ek aaina-khana mujhe

shahr jin ke nam se zinda tha wo sab uth gae
ek ishaare se talab karta hai virana mujhe
