meri khak us ne bikher di sar-e-rah ghubar bana diya
main jab aa saka na shumar mein mujhe be-shumar bana diya

tera naqsh utra sar-e-waraq to tasarruf-e-lab-o-chashm se
bhare rang main ne kuchh is tarah ise shahkar bana diya

tere juzw juzw khayal ko rag-e-jaan mein pura utar kar
wo jo bar bar ki shakl thi use ek bar bana diya

mujhe nang-e-naqsh hi kab kiya bharin us ne aisi siyahiyan
ki mere hi kucha o shahr mein mujhe ishtihaar bana diya

ye nahin ki us ne durida-tan sar-e-nakhl-e-khar piro diya
meri dhajjiyon ko bhi khinch kar mujhe tar tar bana diya
