aansu thame jo rukh pe wo gesu bikhar gaya
milte hi donon waqt ke dariya thahar gaya

achchha hua shabab ka aalam guzar gaya
ek jin chadha hua mere sar se utar gaya

yar aa ke khwab mein mujhe sharminda kar gaya
kya sakht jaan tha ki na furqat mein mar gaya

ushshaq kam-sini se wo kam-sin habab-war
joban ne jab kuchon ko ubhaara ubhar gaya

ai ham-safir baal-fishani ka zikr kiya
tola jo bazuon ko paron ko katar gaya

lauh-e-mazar bhi jo banai wo sang-dil
patthar ki sil tarash ke chhati pe dhar gaya

marne pe qabr bhi jo khudi mohr ki tarah
main be-nishan misl-e-nagin nam kar gaya

bigda banao kar ke jo wo but raqib se
fazl-e-khuda se kaam hamara sanwar gaya

kya aabdari-e-dam-e-khanjar bayan karun
pani ka ghunt tha ki gale se utar gaya

sunte hain jaan hijr mein ‘arsh’-e-hazin ne di
bhuka visal-e-yar ka kuchh kha ke mar gaya
