khayal-o-khwab bhi wo hirz-e-raegan bhi wo
sarir-e-khama-e-angusht-e-khun-chakan bhi wo

jo kuchh kahun to sarishk-e-sar-e-mizhah bhi wahi
main chup rahun to mere dard ki zaban bhi wo

na raste hain na manzil hai aur na zad-e-safar
hai sang-e-mil bhi wo gard-e-karwan bhi wo

mera qiyam mujhe zindagi se kat na le
ki ab yaqin bhi mera wahi guman bhi wo

wahi hai tirgi-e-dasht-e-dil ba-jaan lekin
sitara-e-shab-e-hijran ki kahkashan bhi wo

'matin' us ke liye dam-e-agahi na bichha
wo teri jaan bhi hai jaan ka ziyan bhi wo
