duniya-e-fikr-e-nau ka tamannai ban gaya
har aadmi hayat ka shaidai ban gaya

jab se dil un ki zulf ka saudai ban gaya
mere liye wo bais-e-ruswai ban gaya

wo dil jo apne aap se begana ho gaya
sach to ye hai ki markaz-e-danai ban gaya

tufan-e-gham se khelega wo kis tarah bhala
sahil pe baith kar jo tamashai ban gaya

us gham pe hon nisar hazaron masarraten
wo gham jo wajh-e-sabr-o-shakebai ban gaya

meri nigah fikr ke sanche mein dhal gai
mera nafas shuur ki gahrai ban gaya

mera khayal kam nahin tere jamal se
mera khayal bhi teri angdai ban gaya

mera khulus mera amal tere ishq mein
doshiza-e-hayat ki ranai ban gaya

wo iztirab-e-shauq jise zindagi kahen
dil ka sukun nazar ka tawanai ban gaya

kyunkar na ho kamal ka jauhar liye hue
aaina tere husn ki yaktai ban gaya

jo mujh ko meri khalwat-e-gham se mila 'nigar'
wo khwab ruh-e-anjuman-arai ban gaya
