hum mai-kashon ke qadmon par akasr
jhuk jhuk gae hain mehrab-o-mimbar

sharmaega ab ta-hashr tufan
tuti hui ek kashti dubo kar

ab sham-e-hasrat lau de uthi hai
ai sarsar-e-gham daman bacha kar

aashuftagi ko nind aa chali hai
barham na ho wo zulf-e-moambar

kya ab bhi koi farda hai baqi
kis soch mein ho ai ahl-e-mahshar

kya tanz-e-dauran kya hur-e-khuban
dil hi sitam-kash dil hi sitamgar

chup hain 'rawish' ab arbab-e-danish
the tanz kya kya ahl-e-junun par
