jo salib-e-shab pe gunje wo sada kahiye mujhe
ye sitam kaisa ki saz-e-be-nawa kahiye mujhe

be-karan wusat mein hun main tutte taron ki chikh
han kisi darmanda rah-raw ki dua kahiye mujhe

mera har shiraaza barham ho gaya lamhon ke sath
muntashir auraq ka ek silsila kahiye mujhe

subh se ab tak raha main sath us ke lekin ab
sham ke jangal mein gum hota hua kahiye mujhe

'naz' main bhi aatishin jazbaat rakhta tha kabhi
ab khunuk raaton ki barfili hawa kahiye mujhe
