girdab-e-reg-e-jaan se mauj-e-sarab tak
zinda hai to lahu mein bas ek iztirab tak

ek main ki ek gham ka taqaza na kar saka
ek wo ki us ne mang liye apne khwab tak

tu lafz lafz lazzat-e-hijran mein hai abhi
hum aa gae hain hijrat-e-gham ke nisab tak

jo zer-e-ab-e-mauj-e-rawan hai khuruj-e-ab
aa jae ek roz agar sath-e-ab tak

milta kahin sawad-e-warud-o-shahud mein
hota meri hudud ka koi hisab tak

tera hi raqs silsila-e-aks-e-khwab hai
is ashk-e-nim-shab se shab-e-mahtab tak

aasar-e-ahd-e-gham hain tah-e-reg-e-jaan ki tu
pahuncha nahin abhi dil-e-khana-kharab tak
