ba-juz andoh-o-gham kya aur hijr-e-yar mein dekha
yahi paya yahi har kucha-o-bazar mein dekha

jamal-e-haq to husn-e-qamat-e-dildar mein dekha
jalal-e-khaliq-e-akbar nigah-e-yar mein dekha

idhar dil se chale aur us taraf bahne lage aansu
ye tufan dard-o-gham ka chashm-e-dariya-bar mein dekha

namak chhidka ba-jae marham-e-kafur qatil ne
jarahat ka maza kya zakhm-e-daman-dar mein dekha

kisi pahlu kisi karwat na chain aaya na nind aai
ye andaz-e-sitam tir-e-jigar-afgar mein dekha

kaleja kyon na phat jae hamara is musibat par
ki apne lakht-e-dil ka dida-e-khunbar mein dekha

abas tum dhundte ho dida-e-bimar mein aansu
lahu kuchh bhi mere jism-e-nahif-o-zar mein dekha

rahe aansu na jab baqi to tukde dil ke bah nikle
ghazab ka ye tamawwuj dida-e-khunbar mein dekha

nuqush-o-ma’ani-e-quran tariq-e-kafir-o-momin
ye sab kuchh aap ke khal-o-khat-e-rukhsar mein dekha

gire hum misl-e-musa wadi-e-ulfat mein ghash khakar
jamal-e-haq jo husn-e-qamat-e-dildar mein dekha

ajab kya hai bahaar aai ho phir sehn-e-gulistan mein
ki hum ne phul ai bulbul teri minqar mein dekha

sanbhalna ho gaya dushwar mujh ko aur ai 'hamid'
jo dil ko nok-e-tegh-e-abru-e-khummar mein dekha
