haal-e-dil-e-tabah kisi ne suna kahan
puchhe magar koi to lab-e-muddaa kahan

tai kar raha hun khwab-o-haqiqat ke fasle
mana ki main kahan teri aawaz-e-pa kahan

aalam tamam pairahan-e-tar-tar hai
mahshar sukut-e-nim-shabi ka utha kahan

wo dard justuju-e-gul-e-naghma thi jise
khud apne reg-zar mein gum ho gaya kahan

is darja be-rukhi pe pasheman na ho koi
khud mujh ko ehtiram-e-shuur-e-wafa kahan
