abr barsa hai na jaane kis liye
phul mahka hai na jaane kis liye

rah-rawan-e-shauq rukhsat ho gae
chand nikla hai na jaane kis liye

jab tumhaari aarzu baqi nahin
dil dhadakta hai na jaane kis liye

is qadar shiddat nahin thi tanz mein
ghaw gahra hai na jaane kis liye

kya kahen kaifiyyat-e-'tanwir' hum
sher kahta hai na jaane kis liye
