hai khamosh aansuon mein bhi nashat-e-kaamrani
koi sun raha hai shayad meri dukh bhari kahani

yahi thartharaate aansu yahi nichi nichi nazren
yahi un ki bhi nishani yahi apni bhi nishani

ye nizam-e-bazm-e-saqi kahin rah sakega baqi
ki khushi to chand lamhe gham o dard jawedani

hain wajud-e-shai mein pinhan azal o abad ke rishte
yahan kuchh nahin do roza koi shai nahin hai fani

teri baat kya hai waiz mera dil wo hai ki jis ne
isi mai-kade mein aksar meri baat bhi na mani

pai-e-raf-e-bad-gumani main wafa barat raha tha
meri pai-ba-pai wafa se badhi aur bad-gumani

mera mai-kada salamat ki har ek qaid utha di
na to dair ki ghulami na haram ki pasbani

karun un se lakh shikwe magar un se shikwa karna
na tariqa-e-mohabbat na riwayat-e-jawani
