kadi thi dhup to saya uda gaya wo shakhs
siyah thi raat to mashal jala gaya wo shakhs

masiha ban ke jo marham ba-dast aaya tha
kuchh aur dard ko mere badha gaya wo shakhs

guzar ke jaan se mohabbat ke raste mein aaj
alam-kashon ko rah-e-nau dikha gaya wo shakhs

suna ke dard bhari dastan mazalim ki
sabhon ko khun ke aansu rula gaya wo shakhs

wo jis ke waste phulon ki sej rakhte the
hamari rah mein kante bichha gaya wo shakhs

main jis ke waste sheron ke jal bunta tha
meri ghazal sar-e-mahfil suna gaya wo shakhs
