ai ishq rukh-e-lala-o-shabnam ki tari de
zakhmon ko mere lutf-e-gudaz-e-sahari de

nala-kash-e-haalat hun majbur-e-fughan hun
taufiq-e-shakebai-e-karb-e-jigari de

nadida-e-manzil hun andheri hi nazar mein
jugnu ko mazaq-e-shaghaf-e-ham-safari de

main ab bhi dikha sakta hun parwaz ka aalam
duniya na mujhe tana-e-be-baal-o-pari de

tazlil-e-qanaat to gawara nahin lekin
wo kya kare qudrat jise daryuza-gari de

in sukhe darakhton pe guzara karun kab tak
ai mausam-e-gul mujh ko koi shakh hari de

dil le ke chala hai taraf-e-shahr-e-nigaran
ab to mere allah mujhe khush-nazari de

mahrum-e-basirat hai fan-e-sher mein 'turfa'
is kor-hunar ko sanad-e-dida-wari de
