hai irtibaat-shikan daeron mein bat jaana
chaman ka mauja-e-baad-e-saba se kat jaana

kiran ke haq mein ye suraj ka faisla kyun hai
jo farsh-e-khak pukare to dur hat jaana

main par-shikasta na tha baadalon ke bich magar
meri udan ka zanjir se lipat jaana

ye saz-o-rakht-e-dil-e-bahra-mand kya shai hai
tamam bikhre hue dard ka simat jaana

ye kaun jhank raha tha daricha-e-shab se
ajab saman tha ghane baadalon ka chhat jaana

kahin pe dast-e-nigarin kahin lab-e-lalin
wo sote sote meri nind ka uchat jaana

miyan-e-rah ajab pur-faza thi gahri jhil
main dub jata ki achchha hua palat jaana
