badan mein jag uthi kapkapahaten kaisi
main sun raha hun ye farda ki aahaten kaisi

makin ko yaad hazimat ki dastan hai magar
to us ke ghar mein hain ye jagmagahaten kaisi

shikast-e-dil ka jo ehsas ab bhi zinda hai
to phir ye honton pe hain muskurahaten kaisi

wajud tut raha ho to kaisi naghmagari
jo dil sukun se na ho gungunahaten kaisi

faraaz-e-dar muqaddar bane ki zahr ka jam
dayar shauq mein ab hichkichahaten kaisi

samajh ke sang jise chhu liya badan to na tha
ragon mein daud gain sarsarahaten kaisi

qubul-e-am ka mansab jo mere fan ko mila
to doston ko huin tilmilahaten kaisi
