zehn rahta hai badan khwab ke dam tak us ka
phir wahi ranj wahi khema-e-gham tak us ka

meri aankhen meri dahliz pe rakh deta hai
khas hai mere liye shauq-e-sitam tak us ka

hai mere aab-e-mohabbat se wo shadab bahut
meri pahchan mein hai qamat-e-nam tak us ka

baadban ab to hawaon ko bhi pahchante hain
hath pahuncha hai bahut der mein hum tak us ka

dil-e-afsurda sar-e-sham sulag uthta hai
sahil-e-jaan rakhe ab kaise bharam tak us ka

wo to jhonke ki tarah aa ke guzar jata hai
dasht-e-jaan us ka hai aur khwab-e-iram tak us ka

ku-e-ehsas tere hausle taslim magar
sehn-e-zindan hi lage naqsh-e-qadam tak us ka

baat aaine se karne ko bhi mauqa dhunden
khalwat-e-shauq tarashe hai sanam tak us ka
