habs-e-darun pe jism-e-giran-bar sang tha
wahshat pe meri arsa-e-afaq tang tha

kuchh dur tak sahab-e-rifaqat raha rafiq
phir ehtamam-e-barish-e-tir-o-tafang tha

sahmi hui faza-e-ghazalan ke ru-ba-ru
jangal tha qahqahe the khuda tha main dang tha

ab shahr-e-justuju mein tere baad kuchh nahin
aabaadi-e-badan mein jo dil tha malang tha

ji ye kare hai aaj ki tanha jien maren
kab mere iztirab ka ye rang-dhang tha

har sham muzmahil si sawera bujha bujha
tujh se pare jo dekha yahi ek rang tha
