azab apne muqaddar mein aur kya hoga
khayal-o-khwab mein sadiyon ka fasla hoga

wafur-e-baad-e-mukhalif se kanpte hain shajar
lachakti shakh se patta koi gira hoga

sunaen kis ko ye rudad-e-kawish-e-nakaam
ki ye fasana-e-gham to kaha suna hoga

hamari bazm-e-basirat hamari sham-e-khayal
wo hum nahin jinhen auron ka aasra hoga

luta to den isi mahfil mein nur ki saughat
yahan pe kaun magar ramz-ashna hoga

hai shauq-e-ramz-e-safar aur khayal-e-mishal-e-rah
kabhi to nur-e-azal tera samna hoga
