har tajraba shikar-e-fareb-e-nazar hua
kin zulmaton pe aah guman-e-sahar hua

kis kis ada se aaj koi jalwa-gar hua
aaya nazar ko hosh to dil be-khabar hua

ai rahnuma jasarat-e-rahzan ki dad de
jo hadisa hua wo sar-e-rahguzar hua

hai aafrin jo hanste nahin hain tamam-umr
hum se to ek din bhi na gham ka basar hua

pahle to arz-e-gham ki ijazat na denge wo
waqfa bahut qalil sa hoga agar hua

rakkhi thi jis pe tera nasheman bahaar mein
kya iltifat-e-barq isi shakh par hua

ye puchhna abas hai dil-e-khush-khayal se
aabaad hum hue hain ki barbaad ghar hua
