ghurbat ke ranj faqa-kashi ke malal khinch
ai 'dagh' par zamane se dast-e-sawal khinch

nazuk bahut hai rishta-e-ulfat na tut jae
itna na apne aap ko ai mah-jamal khinch

ho jae tu na tair-e-dil ki tarah asir
sayyaad apni samt ko aahista jal khinch

khinchi thi jab musawwir-e-qudrat ne dil ki shakl
kahta ye kaun tu na ise be-khayal khinch

wo thande thande chain se ghar ko chale gae
le aur aah-e-sard dil-e-pur-malal khinch

naseh qimar-gah-e-mohabbat mein ji na haar
dil ko laga ke nafa utha khub mal khinch

ai 'dagh' jazb-e-ishq ki dekhenge ab kashish
ki us kashida-ru ne to hum se kamal khinch
