sab khayal us ke liye hain sab sawal us ke liye
rakh diya hum ne hisab-e-mah-o-sal us ke liye

us ki khushbu ke taaqub mein nikla aaya chaman
jhuk gai su-e-zamin lamhe ki dal us ke liye

sarw ta khak-e-giyah apni wafa ka silsila
sar-kashida us ki khatir paemal us ke liye

kya makan-khurda khalaiq mein chale us ka khayal
tang-ha-e-shahr kuchh rasta nikal us ke liye

shakh-e-tanhai se phir nikli bahaar-e-fasl-e-zat
apni surat par hue hum phir bahaal us ke liye

wasl ke badle mein kya dagh-e-sitara mangna
is shab-e-be-khanaman se kar sawal us ke liye
