ab main payam-e-fasl-e-bahaaran ko kya karun
daman kahan se laun gareban ko kya karun

tasir-e-sozish-e-gham-e-pinhan ko kya karun
rang-e-parida-e-rukh-e-jaanan ko kya karun

paida yahin se mera nasheman bhi ho to jae
be-e'tibari-e-gham-e-zindan ko kya karun

teri nawazishon ne bikhere hazar gul
lekin main apni tangi-e-daman ko kya karun

yun to har ek dard ne bakhshi hayat-e-nau
main fitrat-e-hayat-e-gurezan ko kya karun

tum kya mile ki mil gain sari masarraten
ab ye batao dida-e-giryan ko kya karun

'ehsas' kaise kaise hui thi sahar nasib
phir aa rahi hai ab shab-e-hijran ko kya karun
