khugar-e-lazzat hun main kis shokh ki tazir ka
dil ko hasrat hai ki pahlu dhundiye taqsir ka

tha mera hangama-e-wahshat azal se peshtar
arsh ki zanjir tukda hai meri zanjir ka

mar gaya zindan mein jab main wahshi-e-atish-nafas
bujh gaya shoala charagh-e-khana-e-zanjir ka

sakht-jaani se dil-e-muztar jo tadpa waqt-e-qatl
ban gaya sang-e-fasan qatil teri shamshir ka

ho ke bismil aarzu-e-guftagu qatil se hai
har dahan-e-zakhm naqsha hai lab-e-taqrir ka

itni hai mashq-e-tasawwur intizar-e-qatl mein
mardumak hai aankh mein jauhar teri shamshir ka

jaan kar thandi hawa wo chain se sote to hain
dam bharun kyun-kar na aah-e-sard-e-be-tasir ka

hota hai insan paida waste fariyaad ke
ye ishaara hai sarir-e-khama-e-tahrir ka

ruh aa jati hai tan mein tegh-e-uryan dekh kar
murgh-e-jaan bulbul hai bagh-e-jauhar-e-shamshir ka

aaj tak aawaz aati hai dahan-e-gor se
hai ye madfan kushta-e-tegh-e-lab-e-taqrir ka

aur duna gham uthaya ki mitane ki jo fikr
dagh-e-hasrat ho gaya likkha meri taqdir ka

rafta rafta yun ghulaya qaid mein gham ne 'nazar'
tauq-e-gardan panw mein halqa bana zanjir ka
