is qadar aam na kar anjuman-arai ko
hum taras jaen mazaq-e-gham-e-tanhai ko

aazmaya jo kabhi us ne shakebai ko
manzilen dhundne niklin tere saudai ko

sun ke rudad-e-shab-e-hijr jo ki nichi nazar
chaar chand aur lage husn ki ranai ko

sarmadi kaif faqat ishq ke aaghaz mein hai
koi matlab nahin anjam se saudai ko

ab aziyyat mein kami aa gai ai daur-e-falak
tul kuchh aur jahan-e-shab-e-tanhai ko

tu ne sayyaad asiron ke faqat hont siye
salb aankhon se bhi kar quwwat-e-goyai ko

khalish-e-zulmat-e-anjam use kya hogi
shab-e-tanhai jo samjhe shab-e-tanhai ko
