duniya mein wafa-kesh bashar dhundh raha hun
main nakhl-e-sanobar mein samar dhundh raha hun

main apni duaon mein asar dhundh raha hun
tarik fazaon mein qamar dhundh raha hun

main aur tamasha-e-gul-o-rang pe mail
khoya hua ek zauq-e-nazar dhundh raha hun

wo subh-e-qayamat mein hue jate hain pinhan
main sham-e-musibat ki sahar dhundh raha hun

khushbu ki tarah khalwat-e-gul se hun ramida
zindan-e-tamanna se mafar dhundh raha hun

tashbih ke afsun ka asar puchho na 'rana'
shamshir mein us but ki nazar dhundh raha hun
