jigar ke khun se tazin-e-baal-o-par kar di
chaman-asir ne yun zindagi basar kar di

hikayat-e-gham-e-dil yun bhi mukhtasar hi thi
tumhaare kahne se lo aur mukhtasar kar di

meri wafa ki kahani se kaun waqif tha
tumhaare jaur ne tashhir dar-ba-dar kar di

qadam badhao ki manzil qarib hai shayad
tabhi to rah harifon ne tang tar kar di

ye kis jahan-e-tamanna ka phir khayal aaya
ki jis khayal ne har shai aziz-tar kar di

shaban-e-zulf ki baaten tulua-e-rukh ki khair
tamam umr ibaadat mein mukhtasar kar di

nae hain jam-o-subu baada-o-khumar naya
aur hum ne kohna-sharabi mein shab sahar kar di

bahut hi khub thi rudad-e-mausam-e-hasti
teri nigah ke sae ne khub-tar kar di

na manzilon ki khabar hai na raston ka pata
mata-e-qalb-o-nazar nazr-e-rah par kar di

nae shuur nae falsafe nai aqdar
ayyar-e-ishq ne har kaenat sar kar di
