ishq ki sharah-e-mukhtasar ke liye
sil gae hont umr-bhar ke liye

zindagi dard-e-dil se katra kar
dard-e-sar ban gai bashar ke liye

dil azal se hai shoala pairahan
shama jalti hai raat-bhar ke liye

us ne dil tod kar kiya irshad
ab tasalli hai umr-bhar ke liye

abr-e-rahmat hai ishq ka daman
aatish-e-razm khair-o-shar ke liye

hum bhi ku-e-butan ko jate hain
ai saba qasd hai kidhar ke liye

wo tajalli hai muntazir ab tak
kisi shaista-e-nazar ke liye

khun-e-dil sarf kar raha hun 'rawish'
khub se naqsh-e-khub-tar ke liye
