kami rakhta hun apne kaam ki takmil mein
mabaada aap kho jaun kahin tamsil mein

bahut shiddat rahi pahle kanar-e-chashm tak
umad aaya hai ab wo sail rud-e-nil mein

makan-e-jaan larazta hai hawa-e-hijr se
charagh-e-yaad ko rakkhenge kis qindil mein

ye ghadiyan aah pe mujh se gurezan hain agar
to phir main kyun rahunga waqt ki tahwil mein

azab-e-barq-o-baran tha andheri raat thi
rawan thin kashtiyan kis shan se is jhil mein
