ba-qadr-e-josh-e-junun tar tar bhi na kiya
wo pairahan jise nazr-e-bahaar bhi na kiya

koi jawab hai is tarz-e-dil-rubai ka
sukun bhi lut liya be-qarar bhi na kiya

dil-e-kharab sar-e-ku-e-yar le aaya
khayal-e-gardish-e-lail-o-nahaar bhi na kiya

guzar gaya yunhi chup-chap karwan-e-bahaar
nawed-e-gul bhi na di dil-figar bhi na kiya

khayal-e-khatir-e-ahbab aur kya karte
jigar pe zakhm bhi khae shumar bhi na kiya
