dil talabgar sahi hashr-ba-daman kyun hai
nala-zan shoala-ba-kaf shauq-e-farawan kyun hai

mahfil-e-saz-o-tarab matla-e-viran kyun hai
shewa-o-sabr-o-sukun dil se gurezan kyun hai

khinch laya tha jo us dil ko teri mahfil mein
wahi andaz-e-nazar aaj pasheman kyun hai

surangon rah mein har-gam hua jata hai
muzmahil khu-e-safar dard pasheman kyun hai

talkhi-e-kaam-o-dahan kashmakash-e-zehn-o-wajud
ek hasti ke liye ye sar-o-saman kyun hai

dasht-paimai mein bhi wahshat-e-jaan itni na thi
tishnagi sahil-e-dariya pe hirasan kyun hai
