husn-e-nawa-e-shauq ki ta’mil kar chale

husn-e-nawa-e-shauq ki ta’mil kar chale
sar ko uthae 'ahd ki takmil kar chale
khaki badan ko aatish-e-daim ki lau pe rakh
hiddat bara-e-jaan ki tarsil kar chale


dardon-bhari darida rida-e-hayat ko
tane se bana jod ke zambil kar chale
nuri tajalliyat ko parwaz-o-par diye
apne takhayyulat ko jibril kar chale


apni ana-e-hosh ka sauda nahin kiya
pur-josh rah ke khauf ki tazlil kar chale
kal shab tere khayal ke pahlu mein baith kar
gham-ha-e-rozgar se ta’til kar chale


main ne sada-e-haq ko kiya sarbuland aur
baqi tamam kaam ababil kar chale
dil ki jabin ko aap ki chaukhat pe tek kar
aankhon ko intizar mein tahlil kar chale


gahri siyah raat mein khud ko jala ke hum
misl-e-misal-e-raushni tamsil kar chale
andar ki chup ko kis ne 'ata kar di dhadkanen
'hasrat' nai zaban mein tafsil kar chale
