bas ek shai mere andar tamam hoti hui
meri hikayat-e-jaan sust-e-gam hoti hui

main raat apne badan ki sada se ladta hua
aur is ki khamushi mahw-e-kalam hoti hui

ye hirs-e-shab hai ya koi hawa-e-hasti hai
jo roz roz hai yun be-lagam hoti hui

badi badi hi ada se jahan-e-hasti mein
kharab hote hue nek-nam hoti hui

ajib rang badalti hui meri duniya
ba-zer-e-sham-e-safar nil-gam hoti hui
