be-sud hai ye josh-e-girya ai shama sahar ho jaane tak
chhinta tere ashk-e-paiham ka pahuncha na kabhi parwane tak

ai ahl-e-nazar meri hasti sab kuchh thi kabhi ab kuchh bhi nahin
zinda hun magar mehman-e-baqa ek sans ke aane jaane tak

han ghaur se ek khuddar nazar apne hi gareban par naseh
kya jaane rahega kis had mein diwana tere samjhane tak

ai khak-e-pareshan ke zarro aaghosh mein tum mujh ko le lo
tamkin-o-khudi ko thukraata pahuncha hun main virane tak

aashufta nizam-e-hasti hai kuchh aur na barham ho jae
mashshsata-e-fitrat ke hathon gesu-e-butan suljhane tak

wada hai magar kis aalam mein ek shokh-e-taghaful fitrat ka
jab laila-e-shab ke bal khate gesu utar aaen shane tak
