ishq ko kashf kiya husn ka qail hua main
aur phir apne liye kalma-e-baatil hua main

ras aati nahin ab mere lahu ko koi khak
aisa is jism ka paband-e-salasil hua main

sare asrar-e-fana khulte rahe subh talak
raat aaina-e-hasti ke muqabil hua main

aur phir meri khamoshi mein bhanwar padne lage
dam-e-rukhsat teri aawaz ka sahil hua main

sahl karta raha jitna bhi mujhe mera adam
kar-e-hasti ki tarah utna hi mushkil hua main
