bakhshish hai teri hath mein duniya liye hue
main chup khada hun dida-e-bina liye hue

sahra ko kya khabar ki hai har zarra-e-haqir
mutthi mein apni qismat-e-sahra liye hue

us sham se daro jo sitaron ki chhanw mein
aati ho ek hasin andhera liye hue

ai waqt ek nigah ki kab se khade hain hum
aaina-e-tasawwur-e-farda liye hue

guzra tha is dayar se suraj ka ek safir
har naqsh-e-pa mein ek yad-e-baiza liye hue

aaya ye kaun saya-e-zulf-e-daraaz mein
peshani-e-sahar ka ujala liye hue

lai thi be-khudi jise is dar pe wo 'jamil'
jata hai ab khudi ka janaza liye hue
