bijliyan tut padin jab wo muqabil se utha
mil ke palti thin nigahen ki dhuan dil se utha

jalwa mahsus sahi aankh ko aazad to kar
qaid-e-adab-e-tamasha bhi to mahfil se utha

phir to mizrab-e-junun saz-e-ana-laila chhed
hae wo shor-e-anal-qais ki mahmil se utha

ikhtiyar ek ada thi meri majburi ki
lutf-e-sai-e-amal is matlab-e-hasil se utha

umr-e-ummid ke do din bhi giran the zalim
bar-e-farda na tere wada-e-baatil se utha

khabar-e-qafila-e-gum-shuda kis se puchhun
ek bagula bhi na khak-e-rah-e-manzil se utha

hosh jab tak hai gala ghont ke mar jaane ka
dam-e-shamshir ka ehsan tere bismil se utha

maut hasti pe wo tohmat thi ki aasan na uthi
zindagi mujh pe wo ilzam ki mushkil se utha

kis ki kashti tah-e-girdab-e-fana ja pahunchi
shor-e-labbaik jo 'fani' lab-e-sahil se utha
