kisi hasrat-zada ne khud-kushi manzur ki dil se
sada labbaik ki sun kar zamin-e-ku-e-qatil se

khuda ke waste dam bhar to ai baad-e-ajal tham ja
ki le lun kuchh hawa main daman-e-shamshir-e-qatil se

thaharna o dil-e-betab phir tu bhi to sine mein
nikal aae tadap kar mauj jab aaghosh-e-sahil se

zamin se aasman tak meri betabi ka charcha hai
sabaq leti hai bijli aa ke mere qalb-e-bismil se

koi tadbir socho taki dil aa jae qabu mein
kahin main qaid ho sakta hun in tauq-o-salasil se

abhi dekho to meri mashq kis had tak pahunchti hai
bana lunga kabhi tum ko bhi apna jazb-e-kaamil se

gira tha qatra-e-awwal jo mere khun-e-nahaq se
uthi thi surkh ek aandhi zamin-e-ku-e-qatil se

wo ab aate hi honge aur yan par aa ke baithenge
khudawanda ye baaten kab talak 'alim' kare dil se
