gardish-e-mina-o-jam dekhiye kab tak rahe
hum pe taqaza haram dekhiye kab tak rahe

tera sitam hum pe aam dekhiye kab tak rahe
talkhi-e-dauran pe nam dekhiye kab tak rahe

chha gain tarikiyan kho gaya husn-e-nazar
wada-e-didar-e-am dekhiye kab tak rahe

ahl-e-khirad sust-rau ahl-e-junun tez-gam
shauq ka ye ehtimam dekhiye kab tak rahe

subh ke suraj ki zau dekhiye kab tak na aae
dahr pe ye rang-e-sham dekhiye kab tak rahe
