haal kya puchhte ho sokhta-samani ka
dagh sarmaya hua zindagi-e-fani ka

gharq-e-dariya-e-nidamat hua tumar-e-jurm
ye to adna sa karishma hai pashemani ka

baad-e-murdan jo anasir mere bikhre ya-rab
uqda hal ho gaya hasti ki pareshani ka

sang-e-dar baz ne sang-e-dar-e-maqsad samjha
ye sila hum ko mila aap ki darbani ka

dekh kar meri pareshani-e-tahrir kaha
ye muraqqa hai yaqinan kisi diwani ka
