hashr ek guzra hai virane pe ghar hone tak
jaane kya biti hai dane pe shajar hone tak

hijr ki shab ye mere soz-e-darun ka aalam
jal ke main khak na ho jaun sahar hone tak

ahl-e-dil rahte hain ta-zist wafa ke paband
shama har rang mein jalti hai sahar hone tak

be-qarari ka ye aalam hai sar-e-sham hi jab
dekhen kya hota hai is dil ka sahar hone tak

dekhenge hashr jafaon ka hum un ki 'danish'
rah gae zinda jo aahon ke asar hone tak
