arsa-e-zulmat-e-hayat kate
ham-nafas muskura ki raat kate

samar-e-arzu ka zikr na chhed
chhune pae na the ki hat kate

kash har zulf tegh ban jae
kash zanjir-e-hadsat kate

ai baqa-e-dawam ke malik
kis tarah umr-e-be-sabaat kate

aadmi justuju-e-rah mein hai
tujh ko zid hai rah-e-najat kate

shab-e-khalwat-sukhan sukhan ki dad
aur sar-e-bazm baat baat kate
