ab na tadpae fareb-e-gham-e-hijran mujh ko
nazar aate hain wo rag rag mein khiraman mujh ko

jaan kar us ne charagh-e-shab-e-hijran mujh ko
kar diya subh-e-azal hi se farozan mujh ko

ab kahan jaun bata gardish-e-dauran mujh ko
har taraf milne lagi manzil-e-jaanan mujh ko

mujh se raushan hai har ek gosha-e-imkan-e-hayat
phir bhi kahte hain charagh-e-tah-e-daman mujh ko

dur hota hai kahin dil se nasheman ka khayal
bhul sakti hai koi barq-e-gulistan mujh ko ko

arsa-e-shauq pe chhata hi chala jata hun
le ke ubhra hai tera husn-e-numayan mujh ko

dekhiye phir mere jazbaat-e-junun ki lahren
kah to de koi zara nang-e-gareban mujh ko

aah wo dil ki jise dard ki lazzat na mili
hae wo dard ki jis ka hua arman mujh ko

main wahi raaz-e-haqiqat hun ki barson 'basit'
parda-e-kufr mein dhunda kiya iman mujh ko
