aql gahwara-e-auham hui jati hai
har tamanna meri nakaam hui jati hai

bais-e-shorish-e-kaunain hai insan ki khudi
be-khudi morid-e-ilzam hui jati hai

apne parwanon ko ai sham-e-musalsal na jala
zindagi waqif-e-anjam hui jati hai

har rawish par chaman-e-dahr mein yun gul na khila
har nazar dil ke liye dam hui jati hai

yun bhi koi rukh-e-raushan se uthata hai naqab
har nazar morid-e-ilzam hui jati hai

kin fazaon mein ziya-rez hai ai mehr-e-jamal
khana-e-dil mein mere sham hui jati hai

ho ke majbur musalsal gham-o-andoh se 'naz'
zindagi gharq-e-mai-o-jam hui jati hai
