sharab-e-ishq se makhmur sab khurd-o-kalan honge
tuyur-e-bagh-e-ulfat mahw-e-didar-e-butan honge

dil-e-shabnam mein ummidon ki kaliyan muskuraengi
urus-e-hajla-e-gulshan ke bhi arman jawan honge

gale mil kar karenge barg-o-gul sargoshiyan paiham
mohabbat ke manazir dekhne ko baghban honge

nasim-e-subh mein jis dam anadil chahchahaenge
bahaaren hum ko dhundhengi na jaane hum kahan honge

hamari zindagi ko bojh jo khud par samajhte hain
pas-e-furqat ba-sad hasrat wahi mahw-e-fughan honge

padega waqt jab un par to dhundhenge hamein har su
magar us waqt hum shahr-e-khamoshan mein nihan honge

hamari sarhad-e-tanhai pe roegi tanhai
baghair-e-qafila bhi hum amir-e-karwan honge

zara ek bar ji bhar kar dar-o-diwar takne do
mere tarik hujre mein ye nazzare kahan honge

tumhaari wasf sun sun kar yahi mahsus hota hai
tumhaare naznin gesu misal-e-kahkashan honge

usi ki god mein sar rakh ke main aansu bahaunga
tere naqsh-e-qadam jis khak ke dil mein nihan honge

umidon ki chatanen jab bahengi sail-e-ghurbat mein
ye manzar dekh kar saton tabaq girya-kunan honge

inhi lamhon ki chahat ne mujhe di hai hayat-e-nau
zamin ki god mein jalwa-numa jab aasman honge

hamari aarzu hai ek pal bahon mein bhar lije
ki kuchh hi der mein hum raunaq-e-nok-e-sinan honge

'falak' ki qabr par bhi fatiha padhne wo aaenge
zahe-qismat fasil-e-ishq se jis dam ayan honge
