asar kare na kare sun to le meri fariyaad
nahin hai dad ka talib ye banda-e-azad

ye musht-e-khak ye sarsar ye wusat-e-aflak
karam hai ya ki sitam teri lazzat-e-ijad

thahar saka na hawa-e-chaman mein khema-e-gul
yahi hai fasl-e-bahaari yahi hai baad-e-murad

qusur-war gharib-ud-dayar hun lekin
tera kharaba farishte na kar sake aabaad

meri jafa-talabi ko duaen deta hai
wo dasht-e-sada wo tera jahan-e-be-buniyaad

khatar-pasand tabiat ko sazgar nahin
wo gulsitan ki jahan ghat mein na ho sayyaad

maqam-e-shauq tere qudsiyon ke bas ka nahin
unhin ka kaam hai ye jin ke hausle hain ziyaad
