baitha hun waqf-e-matam-e-hasti mita hua
zahr-e-wafa hai ghar ki faza mein ghula hua

khud un ke pas jaun na un ko bulaun pas
paya hai wo mizaj ki jina bala hua

apni zaban ko aaj wo tasir hai nasib
jis ko khuda-e-husn kaha wo khuda hua

us par ghalat hai ishq mein ilzam-e-dushmani
qatil hai mere hujla-e-jaan mein chhupa hua

jaan hai to fikr-e-ishrat-e-bazm-e-jahan bhi hai
kab dil se dard-e-alam-e-imkan juda hua

hain jism-o-jaan baham ye magar kis ko hai khabar
kis kis jagah se daman-e-dil hai sila hua

hai rahwar-e-shauq pe aaseb-e-be-dili
rakkha hai kab se samne saghar bhara hua

hasil hai jis ko 'arsh' fazaon pe ikhtiyar
wo dil ke sath khel raha hai to kya hua
