dekha ki chale jate the sab shauq ke mare
mashuq ke pahlu mein shab-e-hijr guzare

hum hain ki hue halqa-e-zanjir-e-mohabbat
baqi to gae chhut giraftar tumhaare

hum chahne walon ka nahin koi thikana
hain aaj sar-e-najd to kal takht hazare

aa pahunche kahan justuju-e-yar mein is bar
mil jae to chal bhi na sake sath hamare

sakin ho yahan koi to us se koi puchhe
main ghum raha hun ki hain gardish mein sitare

bas dekh chuke khub wo pasti ye bulandi
is charkh se ab jald hamein koi utare
