khauf tamir ki buniyaad mein rakkha hua hai
hadisa surat-e-ijad mein rakkha hua hai

ek imkan chhupa tha kisi lahje mein wahan
ek tahayyur yahan rudad mein rakkha hua hai

kaise mizhgan-e-haya tod ke bahar nikle
girya ek zabt ki miad mein rakkha hua hai

sans lete hi bhadakta hai mere sine mein
ek diya sa jo teri yaad mein rakkha hua hai

khas-o-khashak hue kham to khuli khushbu-e-zulf
lutf yani kisi uftad mein rakkha hua hai

in sitaron se bhala kaun sune chang-o-rabab
zakhma-e-bakht zamin-zad mein rakkha hua hai
