khayal-e-nawak-e-mizhgan mein bas hum sar patakte hain
hamare dil mein muddat se ye khar-e-gham khatakte hain

rukh-e-raushan pe us ki gesu-e-shab-gun latakte hain
qayamat hai musafir rasta din ko bhatakte hain

fughan karti hai bulbul yaad mein gar gul ke ai gulchin
sada ek aah ki aati hai jab ghunche chatakte hain

riha karta nahin sayyaad hum ko mausam-e-gul mein
qafas mein dam jo ghabraata hai sar de de patakte hain

uda dunga 'rasa' main dhajjiyan daman-e-sahra ki
abas khar-e-bayaban mere daman se atakte hain
