chaunk uttha hun tere lams ke ehsas ke sath
aa gaya hun kisi sahra mein nai pyas ke sath

tab bhi masruf-e-safar tha main abhi ki manind
ye alag baat ki chalta tha kisi aas ke sath

dhundhta hun main koi tark-e-talluq ka jawaz
ab guzara nahin mumkin dil-e-hassas ke sath

ho raha hai asar-andaz meri khushiyon par
umr ka rishta-e-derina jo hai yas ke sath

jism ke shish-mahal ki hai yahi umr janab
jab talak nibhti rahe tesha-e-anfas ke sath
