hujum-e-ham-nafsan chaara-e-alam na hua
ki is tarah gham-e-tanha-rawi to kam na hua

na puchh dasht-e-talab mein mata-e-daman-e-zist
ye tar tar to hota raha pa nam na hua

likhi gai hain junun ki hikayaten kya kya
magar wo qissa-e-gham jo kabhi raqam na hua

mili na aabla-payan-e-shauq ko manzil
ki faslon ki tarah hausla bhi kam na hua

rah-e-talab mein hai aasuda-haal mauj-ba-jism
khuda khuda hi raha aur sanam sanam na hua

wo kaun hain ki hawas ras aa gai hai jinhen
yahan to ishq bhi chaara-gar-e-alam na hua

guman hua mujhe ehsan-e-na-shanasi ka
jo khud-bakhud koi aamada-e-sitam na hua
