dayar-e-shahid-e-bilqis-ada se aaya hun
main ek faqir hun shahr-e-saba se aaya hun

jahan-e-nau ki talab aur is kharabe mein
sawad-e-istakhr-o-nainwa se aaya hun

shab-e-siyah-e-khizan ke sumum-o-sar-sar tak
nigar-khana-e-shubh-o-saba se aaya hun

abhi kahan hai mujhe nauha-o-nawa ka shuur
ki ek nahiya-e-be-nawa se aaya hun

mere rumuz ka irfan kise nasib ki main
sarosh-e-ruh-e-azal hun sama se aaya hun

damak rahi hai zaman-o-makan ki peshani
sitara-e-abadi hun khala se aaya hun

tumhaare ghuncha-o-gul se gharaz nahin mujh ko
idhar ishaara-e-baad-e-saba se aaya hun
