kar-e-duniya ke taqazon ko nibhane mein kati
zindagi ret ki diwar uthane mein kati

ab bhi raushan hai tere dil mein mohabbat ka diya
raat phir sham-e-yaqin-saz jalane mein kati

tishnagi wo thi koi kar-e-wafa ho na saka
umar-e-be-maya faqat pyas bujhane mein kati

saat-e-wasl jo dekhe the khad-o-khal tere
hijr ki shab wahi taswir banane mein kati

ek angusht-e-shahadat ki abhi baqi thi
wo bhi is bar teri samt uthane mein kati
