ab kahan dard jism-o-jaan mein hai
dafn hai dil badan dukan mein hai

din dhale roz yun lage jaise
koi mujhsa mere makan mein hai

dil ka kuchh bhi pata nahin chalta
hath mein hai ki aasman mein hai

chhanw ke pal jala diye sare
uf wo suraj jo saeban mein hai

kyun na tashbih phul ho us ki
wo jo khushbu sa dastan mein hai

ek sawal aur 'arsh' baqi hai
aakhiri tir bhi kaman mein hai
