kya kare haal-e-dil bayan koi
na raha zeb-e-dastan koi

phir hai qalb-o-nazar mein yaksui
kash aa jae na-gahan koi

aankh shabnam ki dekhti hai kise
chandni mein hua jawan koi

shahr se dur din ka phul khila
dasht mein bhi hai gulistan koi

dil bhi hamraaz-e-arzu nikla
ab nahin apna raaz-dan koi

chhod dukh-sukh ki manzilon ka tawaf
dil miyan dhund aastan koi

dur apnon se ho rahe hain log
dekhiye kab mile kahan koi
