dil mein mere har ghadi dariya-e-gham labrez hai
baat jo munh se nikalti hai wo dard-amez hai

zabt karta hun to badhta hai mera soz-e-darun
ashk se bhi apne darta hun ki tufan-khez hai

pahle in aankhon se sail-e-ashk hota tha rawan
ab wufur-e-gham se meri chashm-e-tar khun-rez hai

aarzu tak ho gai dil ke liye bar-e-garan
na-tawani ke sabab arman bhi hasrat-khez hai

hai abas saman-e-farhat gham-zada dil ke liye
mere lab ko khud tabassum se bada parhez hai

din gae tafrih ke jab se hua dil gham-kada
kya gharaz hum ko agar duniya tarab-angez hai

is zamin par kar raha hai tai masafat har-nafas
wo mubarak hai qadam jis ka safar mein tez hai

qalb-e-'hafiz' ta-dam-e-akhir na paega sukun
jumla-saman-e-tarab-angez wahshat-khez hai
