kitab-e-zist ke auraq-e-tar-tar ke nam
main intisab hun khud apne intishaar ke nam

wo umr bhar jise dhoya rah-e-tajassus mein
mera ghubar-e-badan hai usi sawar ke nam

usi ki pusht pe ek taq-e-be-charagh bhi hai
wo ek dar jo hai khurshid-e-kaamgar ke nam

wahi makan jise ishq ne banaya tha
hawas ne kar diya us ko bhi kam-ayar ke nam

tabah kar gai jis ko hawa-e-garm 'ziya'
mera asasa-e-gham hai usi bahaar ke nam
