aah hum hain aur shikasta-paiyan
ab kahan wo baadiya-paimaiyan

bahr-e-gham hai aur dil-e-khalwat-pasand
baada hi baada hai aur gahraiyan

ghaflaten ab su-e-manzil le chalin
hoti jati hain khajil danaiyan

mere talwon ke lahu ka faiz hai
ye kahan thin dasht mein ranaiyan

farq kya hai zindagi o maut mein
uf mohabbat ki qayamat-zaiyan

phir na ubhra jo koi duba yahan
uf-re bahr-e-ishq ki gahraiyan

josh-e-tufan hai ki maujon ka kharosh
ab liye hai god mein gahraiyan

le uda nashsha khayal-e-yar ka
aa gain hum ko falak-paimaiyan

donon aalam dub kar gum ho gae
allah allah qalb ki gahraiyan

sar se uncha ho gaya pani 'jigar'
muntazir thin bahr ki gahraiyan
