aag hai aag teri tegh-e-ada ka pani
aise pani ko main hargiz na kahunga pani

na rahe aankh mein bhi dil se nikal kar aansu
ja-ba-ja un ko liye phirta hai dana pani

haal puchho na mere girya-e-gham ka mujh se
us ke kahne se bhi hota hai kaleja pani

soz-e-gham hi se meri aankh mein aansu aae
sochta hun ki ise aag kahun ya pani

tark-e-mai-khana gawara na karunga hargiz
ras hai meri tabiat ko yahan ka pani

kar diya sab ko tere tir-e-nazar ne sairab
jis ke sine pe laga us ne na manga pani

aish dam bhar ka bhi dekha nahin jata us se
charkh-e-kam-bakht ki aankhon mein na utra pani

tere hi jalwe se hai bagh-e-tamanna ki bahaar
yahi tanwir hai aaina-dil ka pani

khalish-e-gham se kiye jaun kahan tak nale
meri qismat mein to har roz ye iza pani

dub jate hain umidon ke safine is mein
main na manunga ki aansu hai zara sa pani

zabt-e-girya se badhi aur musibat ai 'josh'
dil ye kahta hai ki ab sar se hai uncha pani
