chaarasaz-e-zakhm-e-dil waqt-e-rafu rone laga
ji bhar aaya dida-e-sozan lahu rone laga

bas ki thi rone ki aadat wasl mein bhi yar se
kah ke apna aap haal-e-arzu rone laga

khanda-e-zakhm-e-jigar ne dil dukhaya aur bhi
jis ghadi tuta koi tar-e-rafu rone laga

sadma-e-be-rahmi-e-saqi na uttha bazm mein
ji bhar aaya dekh kar khali subu rone laga

tha adam mein khinch laya aab-o-dana jab yahan
dekh kar bechaargi se chaar su rone laga

aa gaya kabe mein jab mehrab-e-abru ka khayal
baith kar 'taslim'-e-khasta qibla-ru rone laga
