aalam ko us ne naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa bana diya
yani bana diya kabhi gahe mita diya

hoti na tab-e-jalwa-e-pinhan kalim ko
kyon tu ne parda-e-rukh-e-zeba utha diya

puchha jo us se hasti-e-alam ke raaz ko
zalim ne apna naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa dikha diya

hum ibtida-e-soz-e-mohabbat mein jal bujhe
wo shama hain ki sham se mujh ko bujha diya

goya ki hum bhi naqsh-e-tamanna-e-ghair the
banne na pae the ki kisi ne mita diya
