gham-e-hayat lab-e-shoala-bar tak pahuncha
hamara zehn had-e-eatibar tak pahuncha

fusun ye kis ki nazar ka bahaar tak pahuncha
sukut-e-lala-o-gul intishaar tak pahuncha

bhatak raha tha junun rahguzar hasti mein
na jaane kab ye kham-e-zulf-e-yar tak pahuncha

sab ahl-e-bazm mere husn-e-sher tak pahunche
magar na koi dil-e-sogwar tak pahunche

ye kis ne chhed diya saz-e-arzu-e-visal
ye aaj kaun is ujde dayar tak pahuncha
