garm-e-fariyaad rakha shakl-e-nihaali ne mujhe
tab aman hijr mein di bard-e-layali ne mujhe

nisyah-o-naqd-e-do-alam ki haqiqat malum
le liya mujh se meri himmat-e-ali ne mujhe

kasrat-arai-e-wahdat hai parastari-e-wahm
kar diya kafir in asnam-e-khayali ne mujhe

hawas-e-gul ke tasawwur mein bhi khatka na raha
ajab aaram diya be-par-o-baali ne mujhe

zindagi mein bhi raha zauq-e-fana ka mara
nashsha bakhsha ghazab us saghar-e-khali ne mujhe

bas-ki thi fasl-e-khizan-e-chamanistan-e-sukhan
rang-e-shohrat na diya taza-khayali ne mujhe

jalwa-e-khur se fana hoti hai shabnam 'ghaalib'
kho diya satwat-e-asma-e-jalali ne mujhe
