ada zaban se harf-e-nahin ziyaada hua
isi pe qatl mera sara khanwada hua

talab ne zin sajai kiran ke ghode par
kabhi jo sair-e-mah-o-mahr ka irada hua

hamin ne jast bhari waqt ke samundar mein
hamin se daman-e-arz-o-sama kushada hua

adu ne lut li maqtal mein jab meri poshak
to mera khun mere jism ka libaada hua

adab ka zina mila zist ka qarina mila
kahan kahan na tere gham se istifada hua

faras ko dur kiya sar se taj utar diya
tumhaare shahr mein pahuncha to main piyaada hua

mein dam-ba-khud hun mere sar pe saeban-e-falak
baghair chob ke kyun-kar hai istada hua
