bistar-e-hijr ki shiknon pe kahani likh de
aaj ki raat mere nam suhani likh de

bite salon ki tarah dushman-e-jaani likh de
ab ke khat mein tu koi baat purani likh de

pyas is ret ki ashkon se bujhaun kaise
khushk dariya ke muqaddar mein bhi pani likh de

husn ka dhalna zaruri hai magar ai malik
us ke chehre pe mere dil ki jawani likh de

khush-nawes aa ki tera fan bhi mahak jaega
barg-e-sarsabz pe ek raat ki rani likh de

jitna chahe mujhe gham aur ata kar lekin
us ke honton pe tabassum ki rawani likh de
