ek malbus-e-darida hai meri wahshat-e-hijr
hui jati hai hijabon mein ayan qamat-e-hijr

ek tahayyur sa tahayyur hai tilism-gah-e-talab
hai fusun-khez kahin us se siwa ishrat-e-hijr

daman-e-dard mein simta jo sukut-e-girya
chashm-e-be-ab mein poshida rahi ismat-e-hijr

tang-damani-e-alam mein sama hi na saki
hai sarir-ara karan-ta-ba-karan wusat-e-hijr

aaina-khana-e-dil mein hai wahi partaw-e-huzn
naqsh-dar-naqsh wahi khal-o-khad-e-shaukat-e-hijr

parda-e-chashm pe raqsan hai tera aks hunuz
so bas ek wahm hai ye kar-gah-e-saat-e-hijr

ishq-e-shorida to uryan hua jata tha magar
parda-dar-e-nigah-e-shauq rahi kiswat-e-hijr

zakhm-e-dil dida-e-khunaba-fashan jazb-o-junun
sath lai hai khazine khabar-e-tohmat-e-hijr

ek talatum mein hai ye aalam-e-ab-o-khaki
hae mat puchhiye 'anjum' zabar-e-hurmat-e-hijr
