jine mein thi na naza ke ranj o mehan mein thi
aashiq ki ek baat jo diwana-pan mein thi

sada waraq tha bahama gul-ha-e-rang-rang
tafsir jaan pak bayaz-e-kafan mein thi

badhta tha aur zauq-e-talab bekasi ke sath
kuchh dilkashi ajib nawah-e-watan mein thi

bimar jab hain karte hain fariyaad chaaragar
kya dastan-e-dard sukut-e-mahan mein thi

kahta tha chashm-e-shauq se wo aaftab-e-husn
halki si ek shua thi jo anjuman mein thi

kuchh iztirab-e-ishq ka aalam na puchhiye
bijli tadap rahi thi ki jaan is badan mein thi

kis se kahun ki thi wahi gul-ha-e-rang-rang
bikhri hui jo khak sawad-e-chaman mein thi
