faiz-e-takhil se pahuncha main gulistan ke qarib
aa chala qafila dil ka dar-e-zindan ke qarib

jazb-e-dil le hi gaya husn-e-gurezan ke qarib
kaisa aalam hai mere dida-e-hairan ke qarib

dur hangama-e-tahzib se talat-ba-kanar
jalwa-e-mehr ki tanwir bayaban ke qarib

dil mein ek hasrat-e-khamosh ka tufan utha
fasle badhte gae manzil-e-jaanan ke qarib

kaun jaane kahan le jaegi wahshat meri
ek sahra bhi to hai shahr-e-nigaran ke qarib

main ne ashjar ke kunjon mein pukara tum ko
aa ke tum laut gae parda-e-mizhgan ke qarib

har ghadi shauq ko hai chashm-e-fusun-saz ki yaad
be-khudi le gai sahra mein ghazalan ke qarib

sahil-e-amn mein aaghosh-e-mohabbat be-kaif
kash kashti meri pahunche kabhi tufan ke qarib
