amanat saunp kar buniyaad bhi hashr-afrin rakh di
jahan se ek mutthi khak uthai thi wahin rakh di

na aaya aah aansu ponchhna bhi gham ke maron ko
nichodi bhi nahin aankhon pe yunhi aastin rakh di

dhuen ki chadaren kaisi wo shoale ab kahan hamdam
rida-e-sabr mein tah kar ke aah-e-atishin rakh di

namaz-e-ahl-e-ulfat be-niyaz-e-dair-o-kaba hai
gawahi di jahan dil ne wahin hum ne jabin rakh di

jahannam gul hua ye kin gunahgaron ke aansu the
har angare par ek buniyaad-e-firdaus-e-barin rakh di

hansi aai hai kya kya mere zauq-e-abdida ko
na daman se thame aansu to us ne aastin rakh den

'siraj' un ki nazar mein aaj thi to kuchh hararat si
chhupa ke dil mein shayad koi chingari kahin rakh di
