teri taskin ka sabab kaun-o-makan hai ki nahin
ruh-parwar ye jahan-e-guzaran hai ki nahin

din ki zau-tabiyan tarik fazaen shab ki
pichhli raaton ke dhundalke se ayan hai ki nahin

nara-e-dar-o-rasan hadisa-e-kaun-o-makan
khufta-jaanon ke liye khwab-e-giran hai ki nahin

khud kham-o-pech tujhe rah ke batla denge
teri thokar mein tera sud-o-ziyan hai ki nahin

teri zulfen tera rukh teri jabin teri nazar
ye chaman aaina-dida-waran hai ki nahin

is nazar se wo mujhe dekhte rahte hain 'kalim'
garm khun garm nafas garm-e-fughan hai ki nahin
