kanar-e-dariya junun-e-tufan har ek gauhar ki aab main hun
baghair mere sabhi hain pani ki maujon ka iztirab main hun

ye waqt ka be-karan samundar main us ki had tak pahunch na paya
gira tha sahil pe tut kar jo hua tha jo gharq-e-ab main hun

na jaane kya hai ki meri hasti kisi ki aankhon ka mai-kada hai
subu bhi main hun hun main hi saqi ayagh main hun sharab main hun

tere karam ki kiran ne mujh ko uthaya pasti se aasman par
kabhi ye shak aaftab main hun kabhi guman mahtab main hun

jahan nahin tha wahan bhi main tha tu dekh kar bhi na dekh paya
kalam bhi main sukut bhi main sawal main hun jawab main hun

usi ne har shab ki subh ki hai har ek diye ki wo raushni hai
kabhi mujassam bhi ho ke kah de ki dekh tera hi khwab main hun
