dil jo surat-gar-e-mani ka sanam-khana bane
aankh jis shai pa pade jalwa-e-jaanana bane

utne hi ho gae hum manzil-e-irfan ke qarib
jis qadar rasm-o-rah-e-dahr se begana bane

ta-dar-e-yar pahunchta hai wo khud-rafta-e-shauq
apni hasti se jo is rah mein begana bane

zarf-e-mai tut ke bhi hone na pae bekar
ho shikasta koi shisha to wo paimana bane

sai-e-nakaam se main hath uthaunga na 'barq'
meri bigdi hui taqdir bane ya na bane
