ghuncha-e-wasl sar-e-sham khila de aa kar
hijr ki rut mein koi muzhda suna de aa kar

raqs jari hai lahu ka meri shiryanon mein
barbat-e-ruh mein aawaz mila de aa kar

log mar jate hain be-chaara-gari ke hote
dam-e-isa bhi nahin ab ki jila de aa kar

isi ummid pe sab ahl-e-karam baithe hain
koi sail ki tarah aae sada de aa kar

muskura kar meri ghazlon ko padha karta hai
sher apne bhi kabhi yar suna de aa kar

naw kaghaz ki liye baitha hun jaane kab se
aa idhar sail-e-rawan is ko baha de aa kar
