jab bhi hui tamir-e-nasheman barq-e-tapan tak baat gai
aag lagi jab shakh-e-chaman mein apne makan tak baat gai

zikr-e-lab-o-rukhsar se aksar tut gaya gulchin ka bharam
baat chali thi ghuncha-o-gul ki aur khizan tak baat gai

un ke gunah-o-jurm-o-khata par qad-awar khamosh rahe
hum se zara si chuk hui to khurd-o-kalan tak baat gai

kaisi wafaen kaisa wada kis kis par ilzam dharen
zikr chhida jab shahr-e-sitam ka ku-e-butan tak baat gai

mah-rukhon mein charcha tha kal us ki jabin-e-raushan ka
arz-o-sama se bahar nikli kahkashan tak baat gai
