dil ke har zakhm-e-tamanna ki qaba jalti hai
gham ka wo josh-e-numu hai ki faza jalti hai

raushni hai meri rahon mein usi mashal se
dast-e-nazuk pe jo tahrir-e-hina chalti hai

is taraf mera gham-e-dil hai sulagta hua gham
us taraf us ke tabassum ki rida jalti hai

meri aahon ke tarannum mein tarawat hi sahi
sans leta hun to ai dost faza jalti hai

us ne kis karb-e-tamanna se pukara hai mujhe
dil ne mahsus kiya hai ki sada jalti hai

ye meri tira-nasibi to nahin hai 'mutrib'
hae kis aag mein wo sham-e-haya jalti hai
